January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am self pay and have surgery scheduled January 17 with Dr Ortiz in Mexico.

Not sure if I am going get the Sleeve or Plication. Any thoughts or advice would be helpful. Do any of you know how long recovery is for Sleeve surgery.

Which Dr. Ortiz are you using? I am also getting mine done on Jan. 17 in MX with Dr. Jesus Elias Ortiz. I think the other doctor Ortiz is Ariel Ortiz.

I am going to Dr Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center in TJ

I'm scheduled there for Jan 21 for the sleeve. Did you get two different price quotes for the Plication and the sleeve?

January 2, first surgery of the day. I am grateful for this forum. I am not telling many people and appreciate the support here.

Isn't it funny how we don't want people to know. I am careful about telling friends and family that I know struggle with weight and who will be supportive. I am worried that I will fail at this too and just get larger and larger.

Happy surgery to FinallyMyTurn and JOJO57. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

I am about 70 miles south of Dallas and scheduled for surgery Jan. 22 in Dallas with Dr. Nick Nicholson. Stocking up on essentials. Playing the out-with-old-in-with-new game. Cleaned out the fridge, freezer and pantry yesterday and I am working on the closets tomorrow! This is the first New Year in a long time that I feel confident that will actually maintain my resolution the entire year! Super excited!!

I, too, don't want anymore public failures. And some of my work colleagues are super judgmental. I am doing this for me. 2013 is my year! I am turning 50 in August and cannot bear to be so unhealthy any longer. It is finally my turn. Period.

      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!
