Getting Sleeved March 28th. Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Having my sleeve done on the 28th and being scoped on the 18th. I think I'm more nervous about the scope than the surgery itself. Anyone else in the same boat?

My surgery is the 28th as well. No scoping for me though! Why are you having it done?

Yes, the endoscopy. Does it depend on aspects of your health history?

I needed an endoscopy as part of my pre-op testing. They found 2 polyps on my stomach that they gave medicine for no biggie. They put me under, I remember nothing but waking up and telling the nurse she had a great haircut lol. My throat was a little sore the rest of the day but that's all. I'm a total baby. I

Ok, so it's routine in some practices. I haven't heard a word about it from either my PCP or my surgeon. Interesting......

I will be having surgery on March 29th. Happy to finally have insurance authorization. I'm excited, but I also anticipate some nervousness as the date approaches.

Good luck to you both!

My surgery is scheduled or March 18. It was originally scheduled or the 11th but had a little hiccup with my secondary insurance. So they had to push it back a week I am so excited just a few more days to go!!! I started this process January 2012 so it has been a long year.

I did pre-admit at the hospital on Tuesday! They ran all sorts of test which I assume where fine as I haven't heard anything back from the doctor!

      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.

        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!
