Hi everyone, I am penciled in for Jan 29th but I'm currently trying to hurdle the money issue. Is this i worth the money and putting my family without any safety net and some debt. I got through the other emotions now i just have to come to terms with this. Any encouraging word or words of wisdom would be helpful.

good luck it will be worth every penny I paid myself too

Hi guys! My date is Jan 20th! It feels so close..yet so far. I'd love to stay in touch with you guys and hear about your journey! From my understanding, I don't have a pre-op diet at all, just nothing after midnight the night before surgery.

I'm also having it done on the 20th!

Good luck

Hi I'm Cathy, and I had my gastric sleeve done on January 3rd. So far, so good. A little sore, very thirsty, not at all hungry, and tired. I just keep sipping and sipping the Isopure (Apple Melon is not bad at all) and walking and walking. A bit hard to get out of bed because my abdomin is sore where they pulled the stomach out the one hole. I've got a very low-grade fever they told me not to worry about unless it gets up to 100.5. They said not to force all the Fluid they recommended the first few days - just keep sipping. When I have to cough, I have to press on the one wound with a pillow. that helps alot. I haven't gotten on the scale yet. Not worried. How can you not lose weight when you haven't eaten in 4 days! I am taking 3 weeks off work (using vacation). This is a very exciting time! I'm going to be 48 on January 8th. I started this journey at 222 pounds

There may already be a January 2011 Group on here somewhere and if so i will delete this one and join. But just in case, I thought I would start one so that those of use getting sleeved next months can become and stay connected.

About me....

I am 40 year old single mom of a 9 year old son. i recently hit 300 pounds, which I have been trying to avoid for a few years now.

I made a decision to get a LapBand at the beginning of this month. As I explored that decision, I decided to go with the Sleeve instead.

I have completed my sleep studies (Yep, got to go in twice! Last one last night...with a CPAP), I've had my psych eval, and I had my consult. I am self pay so it all seems to be moving so quickly and smoothly. I really feel for those who have to deal with insurance. I truly wish it were easier for you.

I cannot tell you the feeling I felt yesterday when I got the call with my date. January 13!

I am going on a cruise with family for Christmas and spending New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with my son in Orlando. We get back on January 2 and then I have my pre-op appointment on the 3. I will start my 10 day pre-op diet and then before I know it THE DAY will be here.

I hope there are a lot of January 2011 Sleevers out there!

Hi Liz. I was not on a pre-op diet. I think it depends on your starting weight and BMI. One of my friends had a lot more weight to lost than me (over 150 pounds more) and the same sugeon put her on a pre-surgery diet.

I am having my sleeve done on January 5th with Doctor Corvala in Tijuana. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I do have one question though was anyone else put on a pre-op diet?

I was not and I have heard you are supposed to be so I am wondering why?

Thanks

Liz

January 29th w/Dr. Aceves. Scared and many questions!:blink:

Hi, I'm with Dr. Aceves too. I am headed down to San Diego tomorrow and my surgery is on Friday 1/7 (yay! so excited!!!). I will post an update about how it all went once I'm back home on the 10th. I did a lot of research to pick my surgeon and am sure Dr. Aceves is a very good choice. Lots of people here had him do their sleeve and love him. I think you will be in very good hands!

Hi all, I'm officially on the losing bench. I was sleeved yesterday afternoon and got to come home this morning. It's nice to be able to relax at home. I wasn't very prepared for waking up from the general anesthesia. I was in a lot of pain and it didn't subside too quickly. But now I'm home and able to relax and rest a little more. Good luck everyone!

      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?
