May 2015 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on may 13th. Second day home. Struggling to get the Protein in but having no problems with the Fluid. I'm sure it will get easier as the days go on. Excited about my journey to come!

@@juju79 - I am doing pretty good, hoping to hit a personal goal of -100 by 12/31/15, which is about 7 lbs. I am pretty sure the honeymoon is over but that's okay ~ I got this!

how are you doing?

@@jane13 7lbs away from 100, that is great. I'm down 70lbs. My only issues are heartburn(I never had before) and I've thrown up a lot. I'm not sure if I'm not chewing slow enough or what but I go to see the doctor on the 9th.

@@juju79 - I haven't had either one of those issues, thank goodness.

I have ate one too many bites and wished I could throw up about a month post-op. That was a scary feeling. I wanted to just get a little up, but I knew that was stupid I was only about 3 wks post...

Did you have heartburn before? I did, but not bad. I haven't had it really at all since surgery.

I never had heartburn before the surgery. I have it so bad now that it wakes me in the middle of the night. I can't eat any seasoning or it fires it up. I can say that I'm on medication for it and it helps a lot

Hi!! I had my surgery May 25th with Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. I'm down 112 pounds from 410 to 298 in just a little bit over 6 months. I'm feeling great and Dr. Alvarez and his staff treat you like royalty. He's AMAZING! :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
