I'm 23. I'm currently undergoing the 6 month pre req . For my insurance. Last Nutritionist appt we talked about late September early October for the surgery date. I'm afraid Im obsessed with thinking about it. I absolutely cannot wait to do this. Started medifast in Jan. 2012 lost 30 lbs gained 5lbs back. I'm 5'7, 319 was my starting weight I weighed in at 294 this past nut. Appt. wanting sleeve buddies to undergo this with. My mom is having sleeve done in July. but id like to hear how younger Sleevers are doin as well. Very curious ! I've been overweight my entire life and Im tired of living in this fat shell :D Thanks

Ive been hearing that mecico is actually not a bad place to have.surgery like all the stereotypes. I hope it works out for you. Hope this im not prying how much is ur self pay in mexico. The self pay option here (if my insurance denies me) i think is 12,500 with 150$/ month payments.

AllSmiles, I am excited. I have thought about the wls surgery for years but have changed my mind and I'm glad I did because the sleeve is covered by ins.

      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!
