I was sleeved on May 29th. Had some BP issues before the surgery (what do you mean 210/118 isn't normal? :P) Feeling pretty good now. Right after the surgery was the worst - I felt like I had the flu, yuk. I haven't saddled up on the scale yet, but I know it's easier to do some of the things I had trouble with before. Follow up on Monday. Good luck to all the other May sleevers out there!

Think I am hitting the dreaded 3 week stall. Any early May sleevers gone through it yet? How long does it last on average? I am going to do some measurements soon and see if I am at least losing inches, trying to stay positive and not let it get to my head. :)

I am one month out and I stalled at 3 weeks ~ to my surprise m period came on this week so I think I was retaining Water. I gained a pound but it dropped. I know stalls are going to happen so I'm not stressed, just enjoying the journey and the inches that are falling off!!

Hello fellow May sleevers,

I was sleeved on May 24. I also had my gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia repaired. I lost 23 lb pre-op. But I've gotten on the scale a few times, and I'm at a stall. My doctor says its because of my swollen abdomen. I feel healthier however. People say that I look smaller. I'm just anticipating on watching the scale go down. I'm still on my liquid diet. Just want the swelling to subside.

I was sleeved on May 14 and I have been at a stall for 2 weeks!! I have lost 14 lbs but nothing in the last 2 weeks. It is getting to me very badly. Can someone here help me understand what is happening and what I can do about it?

Well, all I can say is it's completely normal. If you search "stall" you will likely be overwhelmed with reading material for at least a week. I even read one of the ladies stalled for 4months.

OTRsleever is correct, stalls are normal. Are you on a post-op diet?

Sleeved on May 16, down 17 pounds...feels like it should be more, considering how little I eat, but I'm still happy. :-)

      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!

      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!
