January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

My surgery went very good, not a lot of pain, just feel a little bloated from all the air inside of me, women should have no problem in that department, I am home just chilling now, they get you in and out, 1 or 2 days in the hoists and you r home

How did it go?

I'm male, 42 - Altho I'm home sipping only Water every few mins I still feel sore/raw inside esp on my left where the stomach was cut off! Can't cough properly - everything hurts when I try, so I use a pillow to hold on to all the mass when attempting to cough! I could not swallow too much on the first night becoz I also got my Hiatus Hernia repaired with a stitch on the diaphragm tear so stayed on IV fluids for an extra day. Now that I can put in 10/20 ml of water without any pain every 5 mins I was sent home. Start tender coconut water tomorrow

Congrats Brandi7011! Looks like you have had a long wait as well. Are you getting the sleeve or lap-band. I noticed you info under your name said lap-band thats all. Not that it makes a differance either way. Good luck!

Hi! Yes it's been a long wait! I am having the sleeve. I am not sure why it says lap band or even how to change that. How about you, how long was your wait?

Re-NUDE, yes band removal and VSG in the same surgery. Dr Hanna does these as an outpatient procedure.

You don't have to guzzle down on anything! Slow down! Fluids like plain Water, chicken & vegetable soup are more than sufficient! I just got done on 7th n home today - sipping on only water all day for now.
I just thought because I haven't been drinking them like I should everyday I'm kind of behind lol But thanks ill just consume 2 shakes a day one of them are suppose to be a Meal Replacement

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
