Any body got sleeved on their birthday?



Recommended Posts

When I was given a date to be sleeved in may 2013, I told them that it was impossible cos my coworker was on vacation that week. My dept is small and 2 people cannot be on vacation at the same time cos of coverage. The office manager just gave me the calendar and told me to pick a date suitable for me. I tried to avoid being sleeved on my birthday which is June 5th but on second thought, I told myself that this will be the best birthday present that I can give myself. Moreover, I will never forget that date. Yes, I spent my birthday under the knife but not cutting the cake.

Almost! My birthday was friday, the 5th and I am getting sleeved tomorrow. No cake for me, just my liquid shakes! I feel the same - it's a great way to start a new year with a new beginning!

I was sleeved two days before my birthday! My surgery was on July 3rd. It was my birthday present to myself-- a healthier me. Just wish I felt better. Still feeling pretty crappy after surgery.

I was sleeved on 07/03 as well...I'm also feeling pretty terrible. I'm better than I was but it's still just a lot to take in. I'm so sick of broth already that it literally makes me nauseous to smell it. Jello is getting old really fast too. And I'm itching...OMG my incisions are itching so bad! What's going on with u? Any of the same food aversions? What are u doing about it?

I am still pretty miserable. I just have no appetite. I am still pretty nauseas and really only getting Water in at this point. I probably got 1/2 Protein shake down throughout the day but that's it. I'm really hoping this gets better fast. I have three young kids and need to get back to work. Ah!

      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!

      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!!
