My sleeve just cost me more than I ever expected



Recommended Posts

I woke up in the middle of the night in horror that my wedding ring was not on my hand.

I NEVER remove it. So I'm about at goal at 141 and have lost 2 pounds in the past two weeks and it must have come off my fingers too.

I have retraced my weekend steps and left my number with every place I went. I posted on CL and lets just say I'm not holding my breath.

And I'm not stressing over it either. My wonderful husband said .. Well it's been 16 years and we should Renew our vows anyway.

What a man. It means a lot to me because I had it made for me from family jewelry. But I am realistic about getting something like that back.

And just knowing that it slipped off my skinny finger kind of makes me giggle.

Very expensive lesson learned.

I only got sleeved on 12/17/14 and my wedding band had to actually come off last night. I'm down 49 lbs.. I was so fearful of losing it since it was so big, I put on a plain diamond band until either a. I outgrow that. or b. get down to goal and get a new band (our bands are titanium and can't be resized)!!

good luck and I hope it makes its way back to you!

DId you look all in and under your bed? Maybe it slipped off while you were asleep. At any rate, congratulations on your weight loss and on your wonderful husband!

Ring guards? ::google google:: Hey, ring guards exist!

I had never heard of this product, but just searched Amazon on your recommendation. I am a few days from needing to remove my wedding ring or risk losing it (@@Zane's Mom, soooo sorry for your lost ring!), and now I don't have to. Hooray! Thanks for the tip, @@Cupcake!

I'm so sorry you lost your ring.

I haven't worn my set for over a decade. Fingers too fat. Now that it fits, I want to wear it because it's the only real jewelry I own, but I filed for divorce. Gotta laugh at the irony. I hope you find it. Check coat pockets and the seats and floor of your car. Mittens, etc.

Ha, you are not the only one. Well, I have not had my surgery yet and we are already separated, but I feel the same way about my rings. I may decide to have them made into something else eventually.

      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!
