June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

I had a band to sleeve revision 3 weeks ago at Hospital MI with Dr Lopez. Not having US follow up after surgery is a HUGE disadvantage now. Lots of questions and concerns go unanswered. If I could do it over....

Day one of mushies! For Breakfast I had 2 oz. of whipped cottage cheese. Felt nice and full but not uncomfortable. For lunch I had two scrambled eggs cooked with a pat of butter and with less than a teaspoon of ketchup. Again feel full but not uncomfortable. I am down 19 lbs- surgery on June 4th. I look back on how I used to eat and before I used to be so hungry all the time, I wish I had done this sooner!

I wish I had done it sooner too, June 9 for me! It's amazing I come home from work, by habit, I hit the kitchen for a snack, now it's a spoon of cottage cheese, and I'm good. Before it was crackers, hummus, cheese, bread, olives. And wine! So many calories, which in turn made me get this big, I love my sleeve!

Hello from Texas! I'm new to this and feel so overwhelmed but I have also learned so much from reading everyone's post. My surgery is scheduled for June 30 in Houston and I'm on day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet. I feel like this is going to be the hardest part. Any suggestions or helpful tips to get through the pre-op stage?

Sitting here on post-op day 1. Lots going through my mind, but very little going out or in my body. Feeling the immediate "what have I done" feeling a bit. So I found this forum to help get me through these first days. Anyone going through the same thing? Encouragement needed. Patrick

      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!
