Any Tennessee Sleevers Out There?



Recommended Posts

Well tomorrow is the day I get my surgery date. I am so excited! the only negative part is my doctor has quite a few patients and my surgery will probably be sometime in late June or early July. I know it is right around the corner but when u have been struggling with weight loss your entire life its seems forever like you will never get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Vst, just continue to pray for me and that we all encourage each other! I will keep you posted of date tomorrow!

All the best to you and your wife. Dr. Woodman is an awesome surgeon. He's a bit blunt but its necessary.

My dad is a state employee also but he has Cigna. We live closer to Knoxville but Centennial in Nashville was the closest place to us that accepted his. I'm happy with the surgeon we chose. I just had surgery Monday so don't have a lot of stats for you but that's all the info I have as far as state employees insurance goes

      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!
