Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date (VSG) is set for 2/25 (one day before my birthday!) with Dr. Schillingford in Boca Raton, FL if all goes well with the pre-op testing the day before. It's going to be an agonizing 11 hour drive down there and back, so I really hope everything is good. My husband and I are going to go down a day before the pre-op testing so I can take a dip in the ocean. Trying to turn it into a sort of mini vacation, but I'm so nervous!

I am being sleeved Monday 2-3-14 also in Fla. (St. Pete)

I have gone from extremely nervous to calm and everything in between. I remain prayerful. I will repost Monday when able to give an update.

Good luck to all the Feb. Sleevers. Counting down and the days are whizzing by. I had my final weigh in Wednesday. Drum roll. I made my goal weight. Lost 15 pounds since 12/27/13!!!! Originally only had 10 to lose but I had a real good New Years Eve and gained 5 lbs. But now I love my Cookies and cream flavored protien shakes. I bought a wok and I live for my 4oz of organic chicken grilled with with spinach and garlic. 5 more days till a new life. Praying for all the Feb. Sleevers. Keep in touch.

I am being sleeved in the same day as you! Good luck!

I'm scheduled to have my sleeve surgery February 10, 2014 in Denton, Texas. Dr Provost is my surgeon. I've started my pre-op diet and doing pretty well so far. Getting nervous but looking forward to dropping the weight and being healthy.

I am officially approved. Surgery date 2-18-14. But scared because I woke up today with 50-75 red bumps all over my torso. At the dr's office now. Hoping this won't postpone my surgery

Anyone with Constipation issues? What are you using?

I'm having the opposite issue since I'm on antibiotics. I just emailed my surgeon to see what he recommends. As for constipation I was told juice plus is helpful. You can also go to your pharmacy and pick up some colace. It takes 24 hours to really work but taking that and drinking a ton of Water helps me.

      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?
