Life changing wonderful sleeve!



Recommended Posts

I am off to a reunion this weekend with people I haven't seen for years (some of them for 30+ years). This is something I would NEVER have had the confidence to do last year. I will probably look a lot more wrinkly than some people there (I'm 63) but I simple don't care. Having lost weight I just can't describe how good I feel! Happy days! I feel there is nothing I can't do - I am just coming to the end of the C25K and can now run for 25 minutes!

For anyone considering the sleeve I really can't think of any down sides - just DO IT!

I've lost just over 100lbs - not totally accurate as I only weigh once a month,so probably a bit more than that. I used to be obsessed with both food and scales, but now have new interests!

Had a brilliant time away and only just got home, having stayed a few extra days. Funnily enough I weighed the same as I did when I last saw a lot of the people there! I've just had a very fat 20 years in between!

I didn't take my running gear and wouldn't really have had time, but I was back out this morning and don't have any plans to stop!

Hope things are good with you - are you home yet?

Don't worry RosieCheeks, it won't be long until you are traipsing around with an idiot grin permanently on your face due to the fact that you are feeling how us veterans are. I'm going to be locked up soon for walking around looking like a complete ditz! My life now compared to this time last year? No contest!

      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!
