Sleeved August 2nd with Dr. Ariel Ortiz (OCC)

Sleeved Aug 7. Thought the sleeve was the answer to hunger because the hormone is removed. I have never been so hungry - literally - I am so disappointed because while I can't eat lots anymore (thankfully), I'm actually more hungry than before. Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing the same?

I have absolutely no appetite what so ever. The last thing I ate was 2 spoons of chicken broth, 1/2 Popsicle and a sip of Water @ 7pm last night. I'm still stuffed! Does anyone else feel full all the time?

Everyone is different. I go through times when I am really hungry and times when I am stuffed. Are you drinking plenty of fluids? Sometimes I feel hungry, but, what I needed was Water. My body gets its signals mixed. If you haven't eaten in a while it might be true hunger. Try drinking water, wait 10-20 minutes, If you are still hungry eat a small amount. Also, be aware of head hunger. Thats the hard one for me.

I was sleeved on 8/6/13

Are u taking an acid reducer? My hunger got better after I went on one (sleeved on Aug 6). I still get hungry but it is an appropriate amount (when I haven't eaten for 3/4 hours).

Still struggling with this but only sleeved on Aug. 21. I know the feeling. I'm hoping that once I get to eat more solid food, it will help with the hunger.

Yes, the Dr said to take the acid reducer for 2 months - plus I've always been on them, however, I am not getting in all my fluids so that could be a big part of it. Thanks for the advice :-)

      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.
