Looking For Sleevers Who Did The Sleeve Bootcamp Or Pouch Test



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to know if there are people who fell off the wagon and felt that they had ruined their sleeve or felt it was not working anymore. Can that happen?

I would like to hear from people who did lil miss diva's boot camp or the pouch 5 day plan even though we don't have pouches. Did you feel a big difference?

Oh, and is it true that some surgeons do tighter sleeves than others or is this a myth?

Search "Help! 9 Months Out And Problem Need Info Not Encouragement?". Scroll into the first reply to the OP and you will find the directions to the boot camp. I'm just finished with day 4 out of 5 - weight has gone from 150.4-146.6 in the first three days, looking forward to weighing tomorrow and Friday.

I'm only 12 weeks out and already thinking about going back to do a recalibration for several days. I can eat more now than I could since surgery and I am losing sooooooo slowly.

I did the 5 day pouch test. I lost 4-5 pounds and broke a stall. The main thing about the pouch test is it just breaks your routine. Most of us start out very strict after surgery, but bad habits can and do creep back in our lives. But they creep back in so slowly as to not be noticed. The pouch test basically takes you back to that strict regimen for a few days and breaks those habits.

I do the 5 day pouch test about every 6 wks or so. It does work with breaking a stall and helps keep me on track. I feel that it gives my system a break and I feel better. I also drink a lot of Water. Good luck!

I just finished day 2 of the 5 day pouch test. This is my first time trying it out. I worked too hard to get to where I was, so I am regrouping. I have discovered that when I get stressed I eat more carbs and chocolate. I am hoping this will help me get back on track.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
