Hi! Looking for a sleeve buddy. Is anyone getting sleeved around April 4?

I am in nc and I am having the vsg on April 4th, too. So cool to see others doing it on my same day! I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I started my prep diet today and also stopped smoking, so not sure how pleasant I will be for the next few day ;)

Good for you! I know it's hard to quit smoking, but it's so worth it. I quit last June. The second day was the hardest. Now, I can't even stand the smell of it. Good luck!! You can do it!

Okay, everyone I think I am going to start an April 2012 sleeve group and invite you all to be in it, and anyone else who will be sleeved in April can join for that extra added support. I will do this in the next day or two. I looked into it and you need at least five people to create a group, we have way more than that.

Hi, I live in NC, but I'm having my surgery at the VA hospital in West Virginia on April 19. I definitely need support and a sleeve buddy.

Ok, waiting for a forum then. Until then, just found out my husband may not be here for my surgery date on the 1st. Yikes! Can I do it alone?

Do you have anyone who can be with you? As a Recovery Room nurse I know the staff will take care of you but it's so much better to have someone who can speak up for you and you will have to have someone drive you home. Good luck!

Hey SkinnyMom, thanks. Hopefully he will be back the day before, but you never know with air travel and international at that. I really hadn't wanted to tell any of the other family members here, so we'll see. It may come down to a friend from work if I am desperate. ;) I would just hate to be a baby around anyone else.

Oh no, that stinks :( ! My immediate family members know that I am getting the surgery, but I have told anyone else (other than my hairdresser). You may want to try to find someone else for support. It may be hard to do it alone, but I'm sure it has been done before. Will your husband be home to drive you home from the hospital?

Yes, and hopefully he won't miss it. We are here in Kuwait and its his family, so I don't really feel like telling them all my business. ;)

Oh yes, Carly, I completely understand! My husband's family doesn't know anything either and I'm planning on keeping it that way. I sent you an invite to the group. Did you get it?

      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.
