Attention February 2013 Sleeve Buddies!



Recommended Posts

So today is Clear Liquids. Then to the hospital for 6:30am Wednesday. It is getting very real and I am scared as hell. I shouldn't be since I have been watching my rockstar wife for three weeks since hers. I just keep thinking what could go wrong and what if I never see anyone again. I know it is stupid but seems really valid today for some reason. I am normally a very optimistic person but I am worried. Well time to put on the big boy undies and make today great so that tomorrow I can start to live the rest of my life!

Good morning! I am excited as well. After years of being dissappointed with my insurance, I decidied to finance my surgery. I will be having my surgery on the 8th of February which is next Friday. My family and friends are just as excited as I am! Forgot to mention I am from Dallas, Tx and I will be having my surgery in Dallas at Forest Park Medical by Dr. Dirk! The funny thing is that he was going to perform it 8 years ago and then everything went south! I went back to him in January and he along with his staff remember me! Love it! Good Luck to all of us February Sleevers!

Hello all, my name is Katrina my pre~op date is this Thursday the 7th and surgery is scheduled for Feb. 19th. My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Umbach in Las Vegas. I am glad the day is almost here but I am also a lil scared now that it's all so close and is now so "real". I have been on VST since October and have got a lot of info from fellow sleever's. I am still a little confused on how were supposed to get in all our Water & Protein, but i'm sure I will figure it out after surgery. I am glad this forum was started thanks Liz :} I wish all much success with surgery and there new life :} I'm sure I will be asking lots of questions to all my fellow Feb sleever's hope ya'll don't mind

      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!
