Howdy. I got my sleeve on 12/9, and it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I love it! Check out the December 2013 sleevers log, It's full of great people who have gotten their sleeves in December. Lots of great information on there. I had my 3 week post op nutrition and nurse appointment today, and they said I'm right on target. I'm cleared to eat any healthy food I want, just much smaller portions. Small bites, and chew, chew, chew!!! My post op has gone very smoothly, and I even returned to work part time when I was 8 days out. Love my sleeve!

My surgery date is also 1/14. I started my Optifast diet yesterday. My husband had gatric bypass in 2010 and has lost/kept off 150 pounds. I'm almost 50, 5'4" and today, 232 lbs. My goal is to get to 150 or down to size 12 and be able to buy clothes in the regular ladies department. Good luck on your journey and keep us updated. It's scary but I have a great support systems with my hubby having been through it makes it easier. Happy New "Thinner" Year!

      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.

        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!
