June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

Hi all! My surgery is scheduled for June 4th. I'm equally excited and scared. I'm really looking forward to my new journey, but am a little concerned about some of the potential side effects, such as vomiting and Hair loss. I'm ready to change my eating habits and lifestyle, but it makes me sad to think that I may never be able to eat certain foods again. Hopefully that concern will go away after my surgery. I would really miss eating steak though.

Hi Everyone. Surgery date is June 5th. Been on the pre-op diet for two weeks now and have less than two to go. I am reading everything I can so I can try and get everything I need for the first two weeks in the house before I have the surgery. I am very nervous and very excited.

What about Popsicles? They give you the crunch. Hope it helps. I start my one week preop on June 6th.

I just started my 2 week pre op diet for sleeve surgery on June 11 (my birthday!) in Puerto Vallarta. I'm both excited and scared. Trying not to overthink it and just get it done and move forward with life. Wish me luck, I'll keep y'all posted; by the way I'm from BC Canada in case there are any Canucks out there getting sleeved.

Hello! Another June sleever here! :)

I've been lurking for weeks and finally figured out how to reply to threads. Lol

I'm on day 7 of the pre op diet (5lbs down woo-hoo!) surgery date is June 5th in Tijuana with dr. Corvala.

In exactly one week I will be packing up and getting our kiddos settled with my parents. Anyone else with small children having major anxiety about having surgery? This will be my first flight (I have a big fear of flying) and first time with general anesthesia so I've been getting pretty emotional about something going wrong.

      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!!
