Malexa, im also on the 12th. Im 28 yrs old, 5'5" and 250 lbs. I have 4 children, ages 8, 2, and 11 month old twins. All girls. They need me. My husband needs me. I want to live a long happy life, be there for my kids, my family. I can't imagine how their lives will be without me if something bad should happen. But, as others have said, you take a risk of dying every time you get in your car and drive! you never know when a drunk driver will hit you, or a tree fall on you and kill you (this actually has happened twice in my town the past few years!)...to me the risk is worth it though. Its a small risk, let's be honest. And the positives far outweigh the negative "what ifs" bc this is my last chance to be healthy and happy with myself. If I don't do the surgery, I will get bigger and bigger...that has WAY MORE negative effects and risks than the surgery!! I am a person of strong faith and I believe if its not my time, God will protect me. Im praying to be surrounded by angels during my travel to mexico and my surgery. That's really all we can do in any situation, in our every day life. Just pray about it (if you believe in God) and hopefully God will bring you a peace about it ;) hope this helps

Mmm dmixon I didn't even think about chinese Soups for the clear liquid phase after surgery. Egg drop Soup and hot n sour soup broths will be divine! And very filling too I'll bet.

I can't believe I'm 3 days away from a new life. I feel like its been forever since I started thus process....about this time last year I decided to do it and now March 6 is creeping up sooooo much faster than I could have imagined!!!! I'm nit scared or nervous...I'm afraid I'm going to start freaking out Tuesday night and I'm going to have no one to freak out to because I can't talk to my parents because they're already nervous so i think they're finding comfort in that I'm not nervous but rather excited! Ugh!!! 3 days please pass fast!!

OMG, it looks like 14 people are getting sleeved tomorrow! Woohoo!!! I am nervous for my 13th date, but it still doesn't feel real. Then I read people's messages, like Jennifer616 who is getting it done on the 6th, and her nervousness makes it feel more real to me...and then I get nervous...and anxious and excited all at the same time. Good luck to everyone who is getting it done this week! My prayers are with you all!

Heya, caspilnelli....

Just breathe. Go on YouTube and look at before and after photos, and read all the positive stories here. I'm scared too, and I think we would all admit we are. :)

Hey you guys, I was sleeved on the 1st it is now two days after and I'm still pretty sore. Just remembering to sip, sip , sip.... or you get sick lol I'm glad its over and it will be a lot better in a couple more days but you will sore. Just remember to get up and walk as soon as you can to help with the gas pain. Its been nice to sip apple juice, and Water but just sip. Your sleeve is so swollen if you drink a lot at a time it will just come back up or cause chest pain remember to take it slow, good luck to all of those sleevers on the 4th and the rest of the month.

Kaleen, you rocked your surgery. I seen you walking and being so supportive to the others that were the same day or the next! You would always give them words of encouragement. Way to go!

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
