Hey guys!

I am from NY, Long Island area,and looking for other ladies that are going through the sleeve process in NY. I think it'll be a great way to support each other, share things and ask questions!

My revision sleeve surgery was just approved and my sleeve is scheduled for May 2nd! (I had a lap band that didn't work)

Email me and we can go through this together!!

I am confused, you open with "Hey Guys", however, you only ask for ladies that maybe going through the sleeve process.

Guys was used as a general term. No need to complicate anything here but also not interested in chatting with any men.

Thanks and best of luck to you.

Using the term "hey guys" is northern for "y'all." I grew up in NY and Va, so I speak both ;)

Just had my surgery on 2/14 - after my lap band failed - so welcome to the club! You're in the right place...people have been very helpful on this forum.

Just consider me the northern/southern translator ;)

I'm feeling great! So glad I am sleeved! I started gaining weight when my lap band failed, so I'm relieved to be on track again...

I used to think it was Yoose Guys in NY until I found out it was Northern NJ after all. Oh well.[emoji12]Most of you Empire Staters don't think there's land beyond Buffalo anyway and I'm clear out in Ohio. [emoji173] you all anyway!

The sleeve is quite different from the band. I experience more restriction, and I really have to watch out for sugar - anything too sugary makes me nauseous. There are other advantages, but the biggest one right now is I’m losing weight at a nice pace...


Starting weight 2008: 220
Surgery day weight: 160
Current weight: 148
Goal weight: 130

      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!
