October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Chad, the scopalomine helped within minutes. They had forgotten to place it in recovery. I am home now for about 20 min. Daughter made sf Jello. A little goes a long way. Who'd have thought jello could be so filling

I'm 40 years old, from Canada and am going in for my sleeve on October 16. I have followed my liquid diet completely, and am excited and very nervous about my surgery. I have PCOS and Hypo Thyroid, and am hoping that this will finally set me free so to speak. My top weight was 243, I am now 225. I wish everyone health and success!

Good luck to everyone about to have theirs. I think my bad reaction was to the anaesthetic not the surgery itself. Either way it sorted itself out after a day and now I feel pretty good. Should go home tomorrow. Woop! New life, here I come!

Me to! October 15. Hospital check in at 12:30 and surgery 2:30. Excited, nervous and i continue to be, as always, neurotic. Having a few 2nd thoughts but I think that's probably to be expected with most things in life. Although, if Brad Pitt proposed, I probably wouldn't have any. LOL

FIRST CONSULTATION - 235

FIRST DIETICIAN MEETING - 233

2 WEEK PREOP DIET -- 222

For all who had VS already, do you think if my friend has a surgery on Monday she will be able to go sight seeing for a few hours on Thursday?

I would not have been able to, but there are many on here that recovered more quickly than I. Go ahead and make plans, but don't be surprised if your friend can't join you. Also, incorporate lots of breaks and Water into your itinerary.

Good luck to your friend!

      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!
