I got sleeved yesterday!



Recommended Posts

I've been sleeved for 12 hours now. I'm skinny now!

Well, not 100%, but I'm now officially on my way.

I can't wait to buy clothes, go swimming with my shirt off, and fit on amusement park rides!

I literally almost didn't go through with it, as my cold feet got pretty icy as the surgery day approached. I was worried about:

A.Dying on the table B.Never eating again C.Missing my (unhealthy) receipt of drawer. D.Not being able to drink alcohol or handle myself in social situations.

I kept thinking "yes, but I'm 331lbs now. I could be 400lbs in 2 years. I'm virtually guaranteed to get Diabetes. I've got 5 young kids, & DAMN IT, I'M GOING TO BE AROUND FOR THEM!"

The positives WAY out-weighed the negatives. I just did it.

I was only in surgery for a little less than an hour. When I woke up in recovery, the pain was SEVERE. I kept thinking "what have I done?" It got easier & easier? By 7:30PM (4 1/2 hours) I was up walking, AND IT FELT GREAT! I went for a longer walk around midnight. Feels great to get up & move.

I know I've got some difficult days ahead of me, & I still hope & pray that I've done the right thing, but I feel that I have.

I got sleeved 2/19 and was in so much pain and when I tried to eat it was nearly impossible, now I'm day 8 post op and it only gets better with each passing day! As long as you takes your time eating and chose the right things you feel amazed by how little food you need to fill you up! So if you start feeling that frustration from eating know it's only temporary! Good luck and congrats ! You deserve to be happy w yourself :) and your kids are gonna love your new found energy !

      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.
