My Big Day is TOMORROW 8-9-11



Recommended Posts

I just got off the phone with scheduling from the hospital and my sleeve is scheduled for 6:00 AM tomorrow! I cannot believe it is here. I am feeling really excited and can't wait til it is over. I have a really good feeling about it and want to keep this positive attitude going into surgery and coming out. I just hope nothing changes it. The nervousness has not come yet but I am sure it will as tonight approaches and especially the morning hours. I will let you guys know how I make out. Please keep me in your prayers and thank all of you for your support and encouraging words, they mean more than you know!

How exciting!!! I am happy for you. I have my psych evaluation this week. I am hoping to be scheduled for the end of September. Good luck with everything. Be sure to post afterwards so we all can hear how it went. :D

You keep that positive attitude. You are going to do great. I am 13 days out and doing very well. Walking is SO important and makes you feel better.

Wishing you all the best!

Good luck Shell! I'll only be a few hours behind you in getting my own sleeve today. I pray we both do well. I have to be at the hospital at 8:45, and my surgery is scheduled for 10:45. I'm supposed to be in the hospital until Thursday. It's hard to believe the day has finally arrived.

I better go get some sleep now. I went to bed early but woke up at midnight. It's 2:30 a.m. now, so back to bed for a few hours.

      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.
