ARE YOU READY? MAY-JUNE Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hey Sleevers!

I am getting cold feet. On my 2 week liquid diet and I have cheated but not letting that bring me down! I literally can not believe I will be getting sleeved in 10 days. I don't know where to start, I am so ready but nervous of the new life to come. I am taking 4 weeks off from work, because my surgeon suggested it was enough to prepare me for my new life. I suffer from sleep Apnea and the worst one of all Hidradenitis Suppurativa after gaining 70lbs so quickly my thighs develop boils on a weekly basis.. I hate them. They ruin my life and people think its easy to work out..but not when you have this embarrassing disease. Well here I am guys and my faith is in God! Tell me why are you doing it? What are some of you NON scale VICTORIES?

Well it's official .....my surgery is June 5.....had some problems today as I saw the surgeon - apparently his staff screwed up- they told me not to schedule my surgery til I saw him today and I ended up wasting two weeks...so now I'm scrambling to do the upper GI, chest X-ray and see a cardiologist....the next several weeks are gonna be spent running from doctor to doctor...needless to say I'm excited, nervous and frustrated! He told me only to try to loose 10lbs and stop taking aspirin and aspirin products a week before the surgery....no restrictions on a pre op diet! Just nothing after midnight the day before my surgery!! But all in all I'm ready!! Go ME!!

Hey Jen,

My surgery is in 10 days also! I was on the liquid diet, but my body wasn't reacting well. So my surgeon told me to get off it, and to restart it two days before the big day. :)

      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.

      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!
