New Here, And Getting Sleeved In About Three Weeks! Very Nervous. Any Advice?



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Jaclyn, I am a 24 year old hairstylist in Florida. I am getting sleeved on September 24th, 2012 and I am nervous as hell! I have never had a surgery before, and I have never thought to fly out to Mexico to get one done... But I am. I have an appointment with Dr. Fernando Garcia. Anyone had surgery done by him? Did everything go well? Did you feel safe while you were there? Hospital clean? Nurses? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am definetley looking forward to my journey. I am tired of not feeling comfortable in my own body. It is time for me to think about myself for a change, I deserve it! Everyones' stories on here are always an inspiration to me! Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you guys!

Take Care and Good Luck!!!

      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.

      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!
