Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I pray all goes well for you! I'm anxious about the complications as well! My current weight is 246lbs. I lost 12 lbs so far. Can't wait till it's over and I'm through the recovery stage.

Yay! I'm happy for yowhat are you planning on telling your child? Do you have someone who can help out during your recovery time? My husband travels and I don't have any family nearby. I am trying to figure out how to handle everything on my own.

Thank you! I'm happy for all of us! My mom is here and his dad has him quite often! My sister is also going to travel from Texas to be here with me for the first week! I haven't said anything to him because he is VERY protective of me. Lol, I'm just going to have his dad keep him as normal for the few days that I'm in the hospital. Do you have any close friends near you that could help?

Hi, everyone, I'm in upstate NY and I've received a tentative date of August 28th. Didn't expect it to be that soon! but I still have a lot of steps to go through--psych, cardiac, and pulmonary clearances, an upper endoscopy, another group meeting . . . it's going to be a busy July.

Best of luck to everyone!

I am 67 and need a new hip but doc won't give me surgery till I lose 100 lbs so .... sleeve surgery 8/21... anything to get rid of the pain

I could have written almost the same sentence, except that it's my knees, not my hip. But oh, yeah, the pain. So debilitating.

      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!
