The Countdown BEGINS!



Recommended Posts

After being DENIED, and then reconsidered my surgery date is VERY close.

Friday was my last day of work until 2011. And, I will be SLEEVED on December 20th!

I thought once I started my Pre Op Diet it would all seem real. But, it wasn't until the nurse called on Friday that it became REALLY real.

I bought all my Vitamins. I bought some stuff for afterwards.

I've packed my bag, cleaned the house.

And, now I wait!

:)

Monday December 20th, at 1:30 I will be SLEEVED!

Thanks to everyone who posts here who has helped me so much in deciding I wanted the sleeve.

And, a SPECIAL thanks for Tiffykins who has been AMAZING!

Congrats!!! My surgery was dec 13th at 1:20pm. I got there early, around 10am...we live about 2 hours from the hospital, and someone decided to be a no-show so they moved my surgery up to 11:20! So I know how you feel about the late surgery time. That day goes by super fast though. Good luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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.
