May Sleevers...where are you?



Recommended Posts

Woo-hoo!!! I'm on the 13th with Less of Jess and Katress27!!! :-)

I'm self pay, so the process has been fairly easy for me. (Except for writing out the checks, LOL) I still need to do a barium swallow, EKG, and some labs, but that's it.

I'm in the same BMI group as Rocky1, and our pre-op diets sound very similar, as well. I have four days of Protein shakes, and one day of Clear liquids.

Looks like my date will be switched from April to May! My doctor hasn't faxed my information to my surgeon to put in for insurance!!

Is there any secret Facebook groups for us May sleevers?

May the 4th be with you! :)

Haha Jess love it!

@@CandyCrushVSG I don't know of a may sleevers group as of yet. We could make one, I guess! I'm on VSG Support Group on Facebook, everyone on there has been awesome so far.

How are everyone's countdowns going? I picked up the last of my Protein shake and Vitamin supplies yesterday. Pre-admission appt in 3 weeks, liquid diet starting in 4 weeks, surgery in 41 days and counting!! :lol: :rolleyes: :blink: :P

So excited to see so many new May sleeves since we're down to our last month. I was MIA for two wks but I'm back and stayed on track with my eating. Definitely need to push myself to exercise more before surgery.

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
