February Sleevers -- Let's Do This Together



Recommended Posts

Are any of you on the 17th going to Dr. Ortiz?

Dr.Ortiz is my surgeon and I'm scheduled for this coming Friday on the 10th. Will be staying at the Marriott. I just live on the other side of the border in North San Diego, so I'm glad to not have to deal with traveling more than an hour.

I just got my date yesterday. I was surprised how fast my insurance approved it! February 15th is the start of my new beginning/Journey. I think it's a great idea for February Sleeves to do this together!

I of course have many questions and would like for February Sleevers to join together for this adventure and life changing decisions we have made to better our health and lives. I think it would be awesome to find other February Sleevers to share our experiences good and bad.

My date is February 15th. I think it's a great idea for us February Sleeves to join together!

My date is February 8th :) I'm a wide range of emotions!!!

Mine is the 8th as well and I'm starting to feel the nerves. Lol

My family asks if it feels real yet and it's starting to. I think it will really sink in when I get the call on Tuesday afternoon for the time they want me to come in Wednesday.

Good luck to you!

As I was eating dinner tonight, it hit me that this weekend is the last time that I eat a large meal with carbs. I kind of freaked out a bit as I start liquid diet on Monday and the surgery is 2 weeks after.

I have waited for this for so long and my life will change forever. I know that this surgery is my answer to no more morbid obesity. Yet I am scared....scared of the unknown. Anyone else understand this??

I am getting my surgery on 2/15. I am super nervous and excited. Glad to have a group that is going through the same thing. I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. I am really craving an orange, but do not want to cheat. :)

      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!
