Anyone get sleeved in May?



Recommended Posts

I wasn't forced to do a preop diet but I prepared for the surgery for a while so I practiced things. I gave up soda and caffeine before the surgery so I wouldn't get headache withdrawals. I also practiced not eating for emotional reasons, which was hard.

My surgery date is May 9th this coming Monday. I would love to keep in touch with people who are getting sleeves around the same time as well. I am currently in the 2nd week of my Doctor's required Liver shrink liquid diet. Can you say hard?

How are you doing so far? Did you have any pre-op requirements?

Because I am not sure that I am disciplined enough to eat sensibly afterwards. Not sure I can cope without my comfort foods. Worried about excess skin. Angry that I can't just diet to lose weight like "normal" people. etc, etc

What did you decide? I was sleeved on the 5th and I have had my rough days however I am down 20 lbs, off diabetes and blood pressure meds! I go to a local support group once a week and I also talk on here. I may eventually add in some therapy but that is just to take her of me mentally after already choosing to take care of myself physically. Its not going to be easy but after 8 days I am feeling better and lookomg forward to the future.

My surgery is May 10th and I would really like to keep in touch with other people getting sleeved in may and be able to share our journeys.

I had mine may 2nd :) woo! No regrets. I was insanely scared and having horrible anxiety but I had been putting my surgery off for a year so finally just did it and I am so happy I did. I've already lost 14 pounds. Would love to hear how you did! Good vibes your way.

This is my last weekend before I begin pre-op diet (only for 3 days before my sleeve surgery, which will be 5/24). I don't want to go overboard, but I will be drinking vino and coffee this weekend, two of my favorite beverages. I know that once I'm sleeved, those will be no-nos, at least for the 1st several months.

I am not looking forward to the headaches that will come from caffeine withdrawal and the liquid pre-op fast, but since I'm come this far on my journey....ONWARD AND UPWARD!

Maybe we can create a closed group on fb?

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
