Any Miami, Fl Pre-sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for responding. I am terrified of the 2 week liquid diet before surgery. I'm afraid I'll fail. I'm so anxious and can't wait to have surgery. The 6 months supervised diet seems like forever. Im only going on my third month.

I was pretty nervous about the 2 week liquid diet also...but it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be..The first 3 days were the hardest..and then it became much easier...the time will just fly by..and by the end i was only drinking 4 shakes instead of the 5...you will do great! If i can do it...anyone can!! :)

Getting sleeved Aug 15 with Dr Moises Jacobs.

I got sleeved by Jacobs too (and I work at UM medical school).

I love him!

JMH south was impressive, good care, good team.

Side note, I don't think he is super aggressive with his sleeves, meaning he takes out 75% not 85% that other posters here talk about. But at 3 weeks I'm still swollen and can only tolerate 3oz of purée foods. But can drink easily and had very little postoperative pain (did have big hiernia repair so my surgery was long at 2hrs).

Feel free to PM me if you have questions.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
