Any April/May 2016 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for April 25. It's taken over a year to get here and suddenly it's feeling pretty real.

April 14th Birmingham Al! Excited. Nervous. And a little scared. Such a drastic and non reversible procedure. But so very tired of being overweight and in pain daily with my back and other joints. I know it is the right thing for me. But reading some post on Facebook page about the first month and people putting things like "starting to doubt my decision" because of nausea and not being able to keep anything down and then those that say "down 5 lbs in a month" make me doubt my decision but then I read others that are so very positive and I realized that everyone is going to be different and that I have to have my own journey and it has to be for me.

Hi everyone. I am scheduled for 04-26-16. I start my liquid pre-op diet on 04-12-16. Not necessary looking forward to the pre-op diet, but I am excited about my surgery.

My surgery date is on April 11th. I am not on the 2 week liquid diet and it is SUPER hard. The Protein Shakes are really grossing me out so I am having a hard time getting my Protein in. Any suggestions?

I'm new to this forum and a bit nervous. I'm set for surgery the 29th of April I've done my cardiac clearance sleep study and all I need is my labs and physician clearance. This will a surgery to remove my lap band and he will be doing the sleeve. I got the band in 2011 and lost 100 lbs but after having a baby, it's just not working anymore. Good luck to everykne

      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!!
