I have already been making homemade broth and getting Protein Drink samples. Ugh, not looking forward to the 3 day preop diet!

As I've just recently found out, MeepMeep and I are both having our surgeries May 16th with Dr. Kelly in Tijuana. Yeah!!! Not looking forward to the liquid diet though.

I didn't realize this thread was here! I a thrilled to add to it- my surgery is May 9th - my surgeon is Dr. John Feng and my surgery is at Sequoia Hospital here in Redwood City- he is with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation , has done tons of sleeves and studied with the doctor in New York who developed it. He recently gave a lecture to a passle of doctors at Stanford about sleeves. I start my two week liquid diet on April 25th.

I received my approval a week ago and will be sleeved on May 16th in Arizona. Not looking forward to pre-op though - I start that on April 26th and plan to be focused. = ) Good luck everyone - I think I'm almost as scared as I am excited.

Hi all,

I just found out my insurance approved me! And the surgery dates approved for the hospital stay is May 23-25th! I have to find out what date exactly from my surgeon but I assume it will be on one of them and that is good enough for me!

I am SO EXCITED!

My surgery will be with Dr. Christopher You in Baltimore, Maryland! I have to do a two week pre-op diet where I drink about 5 Bariatric Advantage shakes a day! I know it will be hard but I'm willing to do what I gotta do. I have already been having a shake for Breakfast for about a month now to get myself more used to it. So far so good! In any case, I have to find out if I have to drink the shakes with Water or milk. I so hope milk because it makes the taste better.

So SO SO SO SO excited! I can't thank all of you enough for your posts, really have inspired me through my six month insurance period. I've learned a lot. I hope to learn more every day!

I have not seen a thread on here as it may be too early for the May sleevers, but I thought I would start one since I have a May surgery date!

Anyone out there getting sleeved in May?

I will be having surgery on Tuesday May 24th at 10:30 A.M. with Midwest Bariatric Solutions in Theda Clark Medical Center Neenah Wisconsin. Super excited at this point! I know the nerves will come soon enough!

Calling all May sleevers! Lets start this journey together!

      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!
