October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

Thanks! I'm surprised with how low the pain is. Just felt like I've been exercising lol. My mom had hers done today too but she's having some issues with her breathing and throat. But all should be well we've been told. They think she had the star of a flu or cold.

Prayers for my mom and speedy recovery.

Are you and your mum in the same hospital? It must be hard to look after yourself when you are worrying... Take care, and hope your mum is better soon.

How you doing?

Hello All! My surgery date is October 30th. Insurance is not covering so I am self pay status. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

Scheduled for the 29th - first day of liquid diet - not too bad - hope the rest of the week follows suit!

Congrats to all of those who have been sleeved - I hope I am as lucky as those who have come out w no complications pain or nausea.

Today was my last day (I hope) of requesting a seatbelt extension for a flight!!! No more travel until next year... And by then my Oct 21 surgery date starts to see the health improve and the waist go down!!!

Did you see the story about the big guy here in NZ who bought 2 plane tickets? - They gave him 2 seats in 2 different rows!

I was really crook for the first 24 hours also - then I started to rapidly improve. Sending positive thoughts to you and your mum.

I think it was just a mistake. The man was not impressed, but I did see the funny side. Mind you, it wouldn't be funny if it was me!

Halloween for me. I think I'm reading too much. Starting to think I shouldn't go through with it.

I know the feeling! Mine is on the 31st and I had pre op class today. My mind is reeling, I know its the right choice but I am still stressing about it!!

      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!
