Yep! From Frankfort. Who did your surgery?

There is a group on this forum called "Sleeved in the Bluegrass". Unfortunately, it's not very active.

Had no idea there was another one, ha. I am from Elizabethtown but I traveled to Lexington because I heard nothing but good things from that group. I got sleeved at Saint Joseph East- Center for Weightloss. How long have you been Post-Op?

I was sleeved in March 2012. Reached goal around New Years. Had no complications, never hit a stall. I went to Dr. Weiss of Bluegrass Bariatrics.

Wow no stall, that is awesome! How much weight did you end up losing altogether. I have lost 16lbs so far in the past 8 days and had my surgery on Monday. Since I got

Home on Tuesday I have lost 10 though, must of had a lot of Water built up. I would like to reach my goal by May 2014 which would be 119 more pounds. I am currently 259.

I was sleeved feb 5 in bowling green ky. My dr is with bluegrass bariatrics as well. Dr nwanguma. I am very pleased so far and am so excited to be starting this new chapter in my life! I feel very blessed for the opportunity. My high weight was 254 245 pre op and 228 at my one week check up! I'm so proud! My only complaint is I am having trouble getting comfortable enough to sleep well at night.

Are you having to sleep propped up? I noticed I can only sleep for about 5 hours at a time now and end up being wide awake. I can sleep on my side as long as I am not having issues with heartburn.

Yes propped up. I start in bed and end up in recliner. Im a side sleeper and still too tender to sleep on side. Laying on my back is giving me back pain. It is a little better. I suppose it just takes time. I am taking 6 weeks off work so it's not that big of an issue right now.

      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!
