Everything I Hink I See Becomes A Sleeve Gastrectomy.



Recommended Posts

I think about the surgery off and on all day but this made me giggle at myself. I've watched so many videos of the surgery procedure, etc. That

when I saw the stomach on this picture, it made me think of the surgery. And I envision three fourths of it being cut off, ha ha

LOL! Does the word "sleeve" sound weird to you yet? I overheard someone talking about their sleeve recently, and it was regarding tattoos....but that definitely wasn't the first sleeve that came to MY mind!

Now I'm going to be singing the title of this thread all day. Thaaanks....

Yes, more things are making me think of the sleeve. But want to know the worst? I was in McD's the other day (ugh, I know, but an Egg McMuffin - bread is actually pretty healthy)and they had this video looping on one of their screens about their products. One of them is a blended drink, maybe a chocolate malt or something similar. Something in the way the stuff was "funneled" (by the mixing) and the overall color -- well, every time I saw it I would think "An EGD?" It looked exactly like a scope view during an EGD. To me, anyway. ;) I'm going to have to see if I can find a still of it somewhere.

Oh I was watering the pots lastnight and it kept occuring to me that my stomach was about the size of that hose, and trying to visualize how the food fits into it, and what the early digestion must look like. I appreciate the gory details.

BBJuice, I had the same experience with a guy who was wanting to show off his sleeve the other night. I was thinking to myself "How is he gonna show THAT to the world?" Turns out it was his tattoos, too! :)

Oh gosh, I was just at Starbucks and they had a little sign there saying "Don't forget your sleeve!".....right above the coffee cup sleeves. LOL!

      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.

        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!

      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!
