Hi how is your weight loss with the sleeve I am scheduled to have it done on Tuesday but now I'm thinking about the gastric bypass because most people are saying it has better results please let me know

Thank you!

I am 14 days post op last time I checked I was down 12 pounds. For the first week I was having spasms after every drink so I would take the medication the doctor gave me and that helps. That stuck feeling for me tends to occur now when I take to big of a drink. It takes a minute for it to trickle down and the pressure to go away.

Cdominguez, I thought about the bypass also but then I looked at the possible side effects and the possibility of malnutrition from now absorbing as much. I kinda weight the pros and cons of all surgery and choose to go with the sleeve. As of right now I have no complaints.

1 week post-op and I feel awesome, I'm about 98% back to normal. Down 14 pounds since surgery and 39 since starting my journey. :)

If you look at the more recent research, the sleeve and the bypass have almost the same results 2 years out. It is a personal choice so make sure you do all your research and decide that is good for you. Everyone is different.

How's it going ?

Hello! Thanks for asking! Well I'm 8 days post op. The first bit was miserable! But I'm feeling better. Walking, trying so hard to get my 64 oz in and all my Protein - I'm close!! I have less pain when I swallow. But when I walk I have a pain way down low in my left lower quadrant of my "second" belly lol. Maybe I need a support I dunno. I am way better though. Go back to work on Monday. Lost 27 lbs from the preop week of liquids and this first week post op. Yay! 200 left lol

Hello all I'm 23 days out ( sleeved on July 14 th) I feel so much better than the first couple of weeks post op. 2 issues tho. Ive been on my period for 2 weeks and my BMs are only once a week. I'm still on a full liquid diet until Aug 9th so I hoping things will get back to being regular for me. Other than that no pain.

      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!
