Lower-end BMI Sleeve Surgery. Any others?



Recommended Posts

I don't think I was at a "low", just maybe not as high? LOL

I am 1 week post-op and I'm finding that my weight loss is gradual which I kinda like. I think this will minimize the amount of hair loss and loose skin that I can potentially have. I feel great and look forward to the next step every day. :)

I just started on this journey. I wieght 190 at 5'1. My BMI is 36. I feel like I may have made the wrong choice. I hate not being able to eat real food. I am not good eating the right foods and I am losing nothing. Would love to hear how others in this group doing now please

I absolutely love your positive attitude! I just had surgery on Dec.16 and it has been hell. I am sure it's my own fault. I can not stick to the all liquid diet and cheat often. My weight loss has been very slow. I actually weighted a pound more at my three day post op. Clearly I severely mis understood my dependence on food. I want so badly to make this tool work but I just don't see it happening.

I also had a low BMI when I had the sleeve (30). If I had the chance to do it over I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT. I eat very very little, and because of this I cannot gain weight… At times I feel very weak at best…

Every time I go out to eat it’s a big waste of money as after three to four bites I full.

      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!
