Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm at the airport ready to depart for my life changing adventure. My surgery is bright and early tomorrow morning with Dr Alvarez at Endobariatric. I am super excited and ready with a side of nervous. I lost 17 pounds on my liquid diet and I an hoping I fit in the airplane seat without an extender... I will report back in a few and let you know if that happened. Wish me luck! :-)

Same. In mid January we had only like 20 inches last year, and this year almost 80. NO THANKS. I live just around the lake and north from Chicago. We get most if the same crap. Ick.

Ps. Where in Chicago do you live? I miss that city so much.

I'm in the south suburbs, near Joliet. I work downtown in the city. It's scary as hell now with all the ice falling off the buildings! It's like playing frogger just to get to my building every day. Lol

      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!
