Any Az sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for the 28th. I stared my pre op diet on Saturday and I'm really hungry but I know this is going to be worth it. I'm having surgery at St. Luke's in Phoenix.

Hi I live in AZ I recently decided to get the sleeve I saw my pcp and she referred me to Scottsdale healthcare . I called my insurance healthnet and a prior auth is needed before they approve it .

you will do great, they are really good at St Lukes, I had minimum pain, just walk as soon as you can and as much as you can. Not any gas pain in my chest and they must check for leaks during surgery because they didn't do it before discharge.

I am in Phoenix, I sleeved on 12/26/13, so still a newbie, any encouraging words would be AWESOME! I have a pretty awesome family support, but it's really tough as I was, AM a comfort eater & so having issues with finding a new outlet for when I am stressed. I had a major ankle surgery in september 2013 (2nd surgery on my right ankle) so am not quite ready for exercise over a bit of walking, but any ideas would be great!

Thanks!

Amber

Is this board still alive? How is everyone doing?

I have the sleeve done 6/5/14 and feeling great! I had a wonderful doctor, Dr. Orris from the LWIA, outpatient. Not once did I experience any pain. I'm near Queen Creek.

      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!
