Oct. 3Rd Getting Sleeved



Recommended Posts

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow and I can not pinpoint my emotions right now, If I could describe them it would be anxious, excited, nervous, and I feel a bit weak from being on my clear liquid diet for 2 days.

I will keep you posted on my recovery, my heaviest weight was 325. That was 2 weeks ago, and I weighed in at my doctors last week and was down to 318 lbs. I dont own a scale because I was always depressed about my weight, so I dont know what I weight now.

I felt those same emotions just 2 weeks ago!! I woke up from surgery feeling fine...aside from being sore, I had little pain & no gas!! I was walking 2 hrs after surgery. Went home the next day! I went to my post op 1 week later & had lost 17 lbs ! Try not to worry, you will be fine. I am back to work & feeling great. I pray for a speedy recovery for you & keep us all updated on your progress!! Good Luck!

I am right there with you, Tabithad. I am getting sleeved and having a hiatal hernia repaired tomorrow.

I will be thinking of you! Good Luck to us. We will be on the losers bench VERY soon! :)

Good luck, I was sleeved on 9/18, everything turned out great. I couldnt be happier. I was very excitted to get it done. The process is so long ( or was so long) I had to do the 6 mos weigh in required by my surgeon, and I was just ready to get it done.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will be thankful you did this......oh and get a scale, your going to need it to see those pounds shed off of you!!

      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!
