No, my mother is against it, even if some doctors in Mexico are beyond qualified. But I only have to wait until October for my insurance to give me more info then November is my last month of the six months of a supervised diet :)

Hi December Sleevers! My name is Jen. I am in NJ and I am scheduled for surgery on 12/10 with Dr Abkin! I have the Lap band right now but am scheduled to get it removed on 10/12 along with my gall bladder. I have had the band for 4 years and now it has slipped. The more I read and research about the sleeve it just seems like the way to go. I lost a lot of weight with the band but now I am gaining again. I'm hoping the sleeve is the way to go. I was lucky in that my insurance is covering the removal of the band and the revision to sleeve because of the band slip. I just got my approval from the insurance company the other day and I am super excited!

For me, it seems like I have not time until the date of surgery. I have so much to do and only a few days to get it done! It will sneak up on you and then guess what...anxiety from all the time that has lapsed. I have to get it together.

So to all my December Sleeve Sisters and Brothers...let's get it!

I thought about doing 12/12/12, bc that would've been my mom's 53rd bday, but if i want to get disability pay from work, I have to be out of work (using my own "sick time" 1st) by the 7th. So, I'm hoping for 12/6/12 (I'm kind of a #'s OCD-er haha)

Happy to be here with you all!! :}

      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!
