Looking forward to July!



Recommended Posts

I am looking to be sleeved in MX the 2nd week of July. I'm looking at July 11th or 12th, and I should be confirmed soon! I can't wait. I've told a few people, including family members, and everyone is very supportive of this major life decision. My husband is particularly supportive and will be joining me in MX for the surgery!

Anyone else being sleeved around July 11th-12th?

I'm currently around 230lbs (down from 247 in Jan 2013), and I'm 5'4.

Hi there! I am aiming for the 12th or the 15th of July. My surgeon only operates on Mondays and Fridays so we will see. I have only told my immediate family and 1 co-worker and all have been supportive. Good luck with your surgery!

I am at 258lbs and 5'5".

My NUT has me on a diet that started @ 1600 calories in 2/1/2013 and now in down to 1200 calories till June 1st then 1000 calories ...then 2weeks before surgery I go on all liquid 900 to 800 calories ... She wants to ease me into it and its actually been working ... I'm eating every 2-3 hrs so I'm not hungry and Im drinking 64oz of Water sometimes more ... I can't take the appetite suppressants because I get palpitations and I have high BP :)

      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!

      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!
