October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Twas the night beforr sleeving and all through the house mama was cleaning, doing laundry. Picking out 3 outfits for each of the three girls for school, 12 Snacks packed for 4 kids for 3 days, shaving her legs, plucking her brow, oh and I chopped off all my hair. What else? What else? Oh I have to pack a bag. Never got new pjs. Oh well. Worked 8 hours today. Who had time??

So I have a question? I'm suppose to start liquid diet Monday and surgery is Teusday morning, if I wanted to can I do a few extra days of the full liquid diet?? It's crazy I know, but i think it will help me from cheating :)

Sure! It'll help shrink your liver & that will help your surgeon.

Im really considering it! It's gonna be hard but well worth it, and I thought I should do a few extra days because I do have and enlarged liver.

I'm Jen...my surgery is scheduled for 10/16. I'm having my surgery at Northeast Medical in Concord, NC.

I wish you all the best of luck! :)

Not loving the pre-op diet, but it's going okay! ;) I was required to go on the Optifast diet for 4 weeks due to my BMI...so today started my 2nd week...

Anyone else having surgery in or near Charlotte, NC soon?

Can't wait for October 29th to get here! I was banded Nov '09 by Dr. Aaron Hoffman at Buffalo General. Unfortunately the band had to go Sept '12, Dr. Hoffman did that as well and will also do my sleeve.

I can't wait to get this over with, the anticipation is killing me and the weight I've put on(like over night!) is beyond awful! I still exercise 4-5 days a week. The constant feeling if being hungry is going to put me over the edge soon.

How crazy, Dr. Hoffman took our bands out on the same day!

      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!
