9 months out and going strong!



Recommended Posts

I just had my 9 month post op check up......I went in at 204lbs with diabetes, sleep apnea, high lipids, you name it. At 9 months I am 163lb and in a size 8 Levi...from a 20 to an 8! I NEVER in my life thought that it would be possible! I have 30 lbs left till my 'cinderella' goal weight of 130. I am 5 foot 5 inches and not a very big frame. At this point, the sleeve not only saved my life but has been absolutely the BEST thing I ever did for myself-for health and for peace. Sleep apnea-gone, high lipid-gone. Blood sugars WAY down! For those of you thinking about this....,how badly do you want to be healthy for once and for all? It IS work, but you are worth the work and the effort. Exercise is fun (gasp with horror) because you can MOVE without killing yourself from the Flubber effect! Imagine that! Movement without jello! You CAN do this, it IS worth the effort and everything else that goes with it. Be brave and love yourself!!

Thank you thank you thank you! I needed to hear this! My surgery is scheduled on Feb 5 th and I'm terrified and excited!! I'm 260 lbs and 5'4". I am very active but I pay for it with all the aches and pains I deal with on a daily basis. Can't wait to move without being sore. I just need to know I'm doing the right thing and I won't regret it 10 years down the road.

I totally agree with you and I couldn't have said it better. My surgery was performed 8 days ago and I stopped taking insulin because my sugar Is normal first time in 7 years . BP is normal lost 26 lbs in 8 days....life is Good.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
