anyone getting sleeved in DECEMBER?



Recommended Posts

Last Thanksgiving as an overweight person. My surgery is Dec8th. 10 days away and it feels so unbelievable that this is for real is going to happen. Started my pre op high Protein, no sugar, very very low carb diet on Monday. It was really hard the first two days but yesterday seemed much easier. Probably had to do with getting the sugar cravings out of my system:)

My last holiday before surgery.... Sleeved in 5 days! I'm glad I get to enjoy TG not for the food but to be pain free lol and just enjoy the day.

I'm at the park playing with my grand daughter. It's 81 degrees out and we've been bike riding now playing.

I am feeling blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! Guess who's signing up for her first half marathon in June?! Is that a little too optimistic?

I am new to the site but it is SO exciting to see so many people getting sleeved in December! I just got my surgery date, Dec. 17th, and my pre-op appointment and diet start Tuesday. I am super excited, ecstatic, pumped and anxious to leave behind the unhealthy me and start 2015 the right way. I am extremely thankful for support groups such as this as we begin our life changing journeys.

Wonderful news on your date! Mine is Dec. 3. I only have one day of a liquid diet to do. I'm so glad about that.

I'm feeling all the things that you are.

Can't wait to be on the other side.

Mentally and physically I feel completely ready for this new phase in my life. I am over being a slave to food. Today was my pre-op appointment and my last meeting with the nutritionist until the 17 when it is time for surgery. The thing is my pre-op diet starts tomorrow and I had this uncontrollable urge to binge on food I won't eat again. Now I feel gross and as if I am starting out a failure because I am not in the right mindset. I know the sleeve is just s tool but I pray it's the tool I need until I work out all the psychological stuff.

On my way to the hospital for my sleeve! Today has finally arrived.... I'm nervous, excited, a little scared even. I have complete confidence that God is going to bring me thru this safely. Praise be to him.

Congrats, steadfast! I'm staying a second night b/c they want to watch over some high pulse/blood pressure stuff, although the pulse has already come back down. Do you have someone at home helping you?

      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!
