December 2013 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

Hello All

I will complete my pre surgical classes on Nov 7. Then it is on to see the surgeon and insurance approval. I am hoping for a December date for surgery.

Hello Fellow December Sleevers!

Is everyone here going through insurance or are there any self-paying sleevers? I will be in MX during the first week of December (still finalizing my choice of surgeon and therefore date).

Hi everyone!! I'm scheduled for December 18th!!

I'm so excited but extremely nervous and anxious! I'm so afraid of being put under anesthesia. I have a child and I just keep thinking to myself that I am being selfish. But then I think to myself that I'm going to be just fine and my life will be so much better.

I am in my early thirties and I have been overweight since I was 8 years old. I have always felt a bit ashamed of my size and I feel like I haven't been able to be the person I want to be. I want to be healthy, thin, and full of life. There are times that I would just rather stay home cause I don't want to be seen. My clothes just doesn't feel right and I feel heavy and tired. I don't want to be like this anymore.

I am 5'5 and weigh 215lbs. I'm just tired of feeling down, tired, heavy!

This site has really helped me because I feel like I'm not alone. We are in this journey together!

      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!
