Anyone get sleeved in May?



Recommended Posts

Failed my pre op assessment today. My bloodwork didn't pass. My sleeve is scheduled for the 31st but I won't know until the 27th if the surgeon will go ahead with a high platelet count. So upset. Mostly because my records show that my platelets were high consistently over the past year while on the bariatric pathway. I only found out today how high they have been. I brought this subject up in April and was told "not to worry" and that the team felt the high platelet count wasn't "significant". Then they blindside me today, ten days pre op. No one can "make a decision" due to work schedules so I have to simply wait it out.

@@GinaCampbell I'm sorry you're dealing with this - but it's for the best that they take every precaution. Blood clots are a very serious and can be deadly complication to major surgery - so with high platelets you are at a much greater risk. Someone should have done something about this before now - but hopefully you can get this resolved and scheduled for surgery. Good luck!

GinaCampbell I had this happen to me. I was scheduled for surgery last October and my platelet count was too low and my surgeon cancelled the surgery 3 days before it was scheduled. I had to follow up on some other health issues and was quite depressed for several months. Finally had my surgery last week. Remember that your health and safety are most important. Hang in there.

Thanks all. Yes, I feel very low. And of course all my family that don't want me to have the sleeve are happy and hoping that I will stop fighting for the sleeve surgery.

      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!
