Being Sleeved in June 2010!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum. I was originally suppose to get the Lapband but for awhile my heart wasn't in it.. just due to the fact of having a "port" I didn't want it.

Anyways.. my final decision is the VSG!!! my surgery date is Scheduled for June 16th which is in exactly 3 weeks.. i'm excited and nervous!!

My highest weight was between 220-235 That was about 2 years ago.. I didn't decide to have the surgery until about a year ago..

of course I had to lose weight to have this surgery(KAISER PERMANENTE RULES) and soo now i'm down to 187 it fluctuates between that and 190..

Well if anyone has any good advice.. please share!!:wink0:

CONGRADS!! I'm so happy for you! I know you will absolutly love it.

Only advice is get with a support group that meets up. Most of this is all mental and if you can get past that and work along with your sleeve your set for life!

Again sooo happy for you. Make sure to keep everyone posted with your journey to a new happy and wonderful life!

Congrats on your date! I really don't have any advice because I am relatively new myself and have a date of 6/30 but from my experience everyone here is very supportive and knowledgeable. Good luck and can't wait to hear of your success! :biggrin0:

Hi Lootzie,

Nice to meet you! I bet we will run into each other as we walk the halls... are you staying at the Kabuki Hotel by any chance?

My surgery is at 7am, when is yours?

I can't wait to have this all over with...

I have not been able to control my eating lately and have gained a few pounds... hoping Dr. Jossart will not be too upset with me.

      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!
