My name is Hutch - I have a tentative date of May 9th with Dr Aceeves in Mexi -Cali

I am a truck driver and struggle with weight loss so I have made the decision to be sleeved.

I am nervous but not scared. I have been 100 lbs overweight for the last 10 years and I have tried every diet imaginable - and they work for a minute and then fail. I have no one to blame but myself. I have diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma and planter faciatias in my feet which causes me alot of pain. I hope and pray that after the surgery with time these conditions that I mention will go away.

I recently got married to a beautiful woman that was sleeved in Janurary,2010- and when she said that I needed to get a passport I thought she was excited about going on vacation but little did I know she had other plans - I am happy though because I feel that this is the best decision for me and for us to live a long and healthy life together.

If you all will join me in my upcoming journey I would greatly appreciate all of ur help and support.

Thank you and God bless,

Hutch

Hey Hutch, my boyfriend is also a truck driver so I understand a bit about being in the road. He also lives 5 hours from me so I see him on his home time and when he passes through. I'm aiming for late may early June and I chose Dr. Alvarez in piedras negras .... I am so ready. I know it can be hard to get in ur exercise abd take breaks on the road, but you can do it. Good luck!

My husband is a truck driver as well. He is not overweight at all but he has lost quite a bit of muscle mass and that isn't healthy either. Despite my dietary and health setbacks, I have equipped my hubby with many fresh fruits and veggies as for the past year he gets about 2 or 3 days home weekly (dedicated routes are awesome). He also does a lot of walking at home and hopefully he will start strength training with me when I can exercise :-) I know how hard it is maintain healthy eating on the road but I think with this tool, you can regain your health! You already have the support of a loving spouse that is soooooooo vital. I wish you many blissful and healthy years Hutch. Congratulations on taking charge of your life.

      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.

        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.

      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!
