So it looks like it will be in May that I will be having my sleeve surgery, as I have to see their endocrinologist and he is booked up until May. My appointment with him is May 8th, I have an appt with the surgeon on March 18th and could have had the surgery in March if the endo was so booked up. I am on the cancellation list for him. So I am hoping there will be a cancellation as I really wanted to get this surgery done before summer. My daughter is getting married this summer and would be nice to wear a nice dress that isn't a plus size.

Do you think there is still a chance I could wear a normal size dress before her wedding in Aug if I have my surgery in May?

Thanks for listening :)

I too am a may sleever as of now. today I had to cancel a nutritionist appointment because she is booked up until april for my FIRST appointment, meaning it would be june before I qualify for surgery and up until july before I would receive final approval! no way. I found instead a nutritionist who is giving me a first appointment this Friday instead :) so my 2nd appointment will be in march and my third in april...freeing me up for surgery in may.

I too am hoping to be smaller by august. while everyone is different, I am almost sure you'll be in better control and understanding of your new body, and hopefully will be looking great and feeling great in time for your daughters wedding!

yay, it's nice to have a fellow may sleever in the bunch! :)

      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.

      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!
