Anyone Sleeved 4/23/11?



Recommended Posts

My date is next Monday, 4/23, moved up from the 30th. I'd love to hear from someone who's a year out, what went well, what hasn't, what you would change if you could go back (other than not gain the weight in the first place, LOL). I'm so impressed with the stories everyone has and hope I have as much courage and dedication to it as you all seem to. Wish me luck!!!

First I thought the subject date was a typo, but then read your post B) - cool idea to get someone a year out on same date....anyway, I'm not that, but I am having surgery the same day as you 4/23! Yippeee - one more week to go. Are you excited? nervous? I'm all of it. Did you have to do a preop diet?

Hi New Life! I was sleeved last year on 4/13/11, is that close enough??? My starting stats seem similar to yours. I went from weighing 210.5 at the start and now I weigh 143.5, a size 18 to 8 in less than a year.

I just posted my journey and results on my anniversary, feel free to go back and read it. In a nutshell, I am over the moon at my results. Have met and exceeded my hopes and if I had any expectations, the surgery has exceeded them all. I am pretty up front about the pros and cons of the surgery and what you give up in return for the results. I wish you the best of luck on your new life, it's a journey and one worth taking. :)

Feel free to contact me anytime, I have been there! Wendy

      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?
