Hey July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hi friends,

I was sleeved on Tuesday and I'm still in the hospital. The surgeon said everything went really well but ive had a few issues arise. I'll be here definitely tomorrow and possibly Saturday as well. I've had a few set backs but getting better everyday. On weds my bp was super low and I was completely unable to get up. Today was better and I've walked the halls a couple of times so far. I've been getting a phosphorus supplement in my IV because that was low and my hemoglobin is low as well. They did a third blood draw just a little bit ago because if it doesn't go up by tonight, I'll need a transfusion. I'm pretty surprised that I'm having all of these issues come up but I'm hoping they are short term and I'll definitely not need a transfusion. Hope everyone who has gone in already is recovering nicely and those who are on deck are feeling confident and strong.

Oh awesome!! I know, I can't find anyone ( in real life) that has been sleeved by him either! Do you live around there? I live in the Humble/Kingwood area.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
