12/2 surgery people?!



Recommended Posts

Stumbled across this app at just the right time. Have my Sleeve surgery in 9 hours. This is my first post.

I had Lap-band installed in 2013, it slipped had it removed in 2016, was supposed to do revision a few months later, but chickened out. Then after yo-yoing the last 3 years, and increasingly worsening back pain, finally decided to go through with it.

Was kinda here reading through here psyching myself out a bit. But know the benefits outweigh the fear.

Anyone else out there a 12/2 sleever? Or December at all?

Best of luck to all of ya!

Good luck on your surgery. I had my lap band removed and got the sleeve on 11/13. Doing good so far - enjoying my time off work as I took the full 6 weeks. I am down 15 pounds since surgery - not getting much exercise in yet.

Hello Steve! I was a December 3rd sleever. Hope your surgery has gone well.

I'm 35/M/CO.

DOS: 399
GW - low 200s.

Things have been going surprisingly well for me....pain is manageable (2/3 on a 10 point scale) and I can sip 5oz of Water in around 15 minutes. I'm sure the cocktail of painkillers and anti-anxiety meds are contributing...lol.

      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!
