Hello there sleevers :) So getting more nervous/excited, I'm getting revised from band to sleeve Dec 10th. Soooo with that wanted to hear from my fellow shorties.

I'm 5'3", hovering around 190 (no hating remember I was banded and had lost weight with it and been gaining like a mad woman)

So what's you story? Height, start weight, current how was the recovery process?

Hey ladies, I'm 5' 241lbs have not yet been sleeved. Still considering/ researching and saving money most likely I'm going to MX because my insurance doesn't cover. Hopefully it won't take to long for me to get things together. Because I'm ready for this change. And right now just need support and advice because only one person I know is really on my side and that because she gets sleeved in jan.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
