Anyone get their sleeve February 2019



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is 2/25/2019. I'm very nervous and scared of what my life will be like right after.
Do what you can today to make your post-op life easier. The recovery is a little harder than I anticipated. Fill your pantry with Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, popsicles, broth, and gas-x. I cleaned my whole house the night before and put away all dishes and laundry so I wouldn't have to think about it. Anticipate being off your feet, except for short walks to relieve gas, for the next 2-3 days. Keep your head up, it does get better.

I was able to take Tylenol’ pills. The first 24 hours were the toughest but it gets better everyday. I echo what everyone else says, walk walk walk and sip sip sip! Good luck!

I’ve been getting super light headed also! I’ve been drinking Fluid constantly so I have no idea what is going on. I have my first pre op appointment Wednesday so hopefully the surgeon can enlighten me

Mine is too. We will be fine. Just breath and read. I've learned a lot from the different people. And no 2 of us are alike. The first few weeks are bodies are healing. Best wishes. Let us know how you do.

Sleeved Feb 11th! Yesterday was 2 weeks out. Down 21 pounds. Super low energy and trouble staying on top of Water intake. I’m having trouble figuring out which foods are ok with me- turns out I’m one of the people who become lactose intolerant after. Hope everyone is coming along and feeling well!

Hi everyone, just had it done on the 20th . Just feeling weak a lot. Did anyone experience that too?
Yes! Feeling weak is definitely my #1 symptom. I’m 9 days further out from you so I can tell you it DOES get better. Hang in there!

      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!
