Any February Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m having my surgery at the end of the month and I’m freaking out a bit. I know why I want to do it but I’m worried about the post op.
It’s just a lot to happen to the inside of you!

I have actually had a gastric band when I was too young and it didn’t work so now the sleeve is my best option.

I find that being positive about the whole thing really really makes a difference. But sometimes this whole thing makes it hard to sleep.

Any advice with feeling a bit anxious?

Thanks!! [emoji4]




Just remember that by day three you will be sleeping better. I’m one week post op today and feeling great. First two days/nights sucked but you will wake up 3rd or 4th day and realize you feel a lot less sore and it feels awesome! Went well Extra Strength Tylenol and didn’t take Oxy. Good luck.

I don't have a pre-surgery diet! Just nothing after midnight the night before and had to stop taking all my Vitamins.

This morning I had my pre-admission testing.

Not long after I got to my desk, the hospital billing office called and let me know that insurance had approved me. (the I called the insurance company and confirmed it.)

Holy crap. This is *actually happening* - one week from tomorrow (2/18).

      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!
