Hi, I hope your surgery date is finalized soon. I'm also scheduled for October 7th. I'm just really excited at this point. With 7 days remaining I don't know what to do with myself lol :). I'm double checking my hospital bag, Vitamins, shakes, and all post-op needs almost daily. My husband thinks I'm going crazy because I'm not nervous at all. I'm ready to go!

I'm planning to start a thread for October 7th sleevers because there are quite a few of us and I definitely want us to stay in touch.

I'm October 10! I go in for pre-op and meet with the nutritionist on October 3. I've already started some grocery shopping based on what I've read here. I'm getting excited and I just want this over and behind me.

I'm on the 6th as well. I would love a FB page.

I had my sleeve done September 30, 2014. Feeling good and excited. Had my surgery in Pontiac Michigan with Dr Pleatman. I traveled from Minnesota for my procedure . Arrived on Sunday , consult with dr and nutrition on Monday. Tuesday arrived at hospital for tests at 10:45, I think I had my surgery around 1 p.m. I think things went very well. The staff was kind and made sure my pain was under control at all times. A night at the hospital was included in my fee. This is a perk I did not find elsewhere. Got out of the hospital Wednesday afternoon. Staying in town until Monday as requested by the dr.

One thing that is very important before surgery is to make sure you will be able to swallow your necessary medications after surgery. I take Effexor and kept being told it would be fine. Well all of a sudden after surgery I was told I would not be able to swallow the extended release capsules. Now I am cursing pills three times a day.

So far Dr. Pleatman is an excellent choice. If you want a doctor who will chat and make small talk choose someone else. I was aware he had no bedside manner when I chose him. Also direct questions to him. I got a few wrong answers from his staff. Total cost was $11,200.00. Included everything!

Just a tip that works for me. I am practicing with the stir straws. they have such a small middle they force you to sip. I found the long ones at wal mart. They work great for 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?

        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!
