Hi there, some days ago I started a conversation at the PreOp forum about sleevers with Narcissistic mothers. There are quite a few of us. So I decided to try and open these group so we can share our expericences with our "moms".My name is Maria. I live in Venezuela and I will have my surgery this next Wed, June 12.AS long as I remember my mother was kind of weird, always attacking me and my sister, not physically but verbally. Some years ago, after a lot of years in therapy, reading a lot, I discovered my mother has a NPD.It is the most devastating thing you can have as a kid, as a teenager... as a person.I decided not to telling her I will have the sleeve done because when I was telling to her about the possibilite, she started to discourage me anyway she can. She has told me all of my life that I was obese. (Which I believed until I started looking for pictures from when I was 16 years old and I was not skinny but perfectly normal to thin. When I made diets and loss weight, she used to tell me I was anorexic.. No way to win with her.I am pretty much over her things today as the became a widow last January and her huge anxiety has led her to a cuasi dementia senile state. Not quite because she can always hurt my sister and I with her words. But she is in a very bad mental and physical state.Well friends. Let´s share our experiences regarding this kind of parentes and how this relate with our weight problemas, eating habits and share our things so we can support each other during this huge change in our lives. We sleevers!!!Hugs for all of you, Maria

      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.

      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.
