There are a few of us on here. I am in Alsip on the far southwest side. My sleeve was done 12/23/2013 at Loyola University Medical Center. Where are you having your surgery? What part of this great metropolis are you in?

Had my Sleeve 3 weeks ago...Northwestern Hospital. Struggling a little so far. Foggy mind, feels like I'm kinda drunk all the time. Probably just dehydrated...

Happy New Year fellow sleevers. I'm currently waiting for approval from BCBS IL - paperwork was submitted this week - all of my clearances are complete. Hoping for a quick response - so I can get surgery scheduled ASAP. Getting sleeved by Dr. Joyce at Silver Cross in New Lenox. I feel like I've been jumping through hoops for the last five weeks - trying to get appointments with all the specialists and getting all the tests performed. Just joined this forum. - so far I'm finding it really helpful. Feeling that weird mix of scared and excited at the same time. Please feel free to offer helpful advice or information. Good luck to all.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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.
