Need a buddy for a surgery date of 5/31/16



Recommended Posts

I m in Northern California with a surgery date of May 31st. I will be finally having the Gastric Sleeve I say finally because this is my 3rd doctor and had to have an UGI and upper endoscopy before she would okay my surgery. I did not want the bypass which because of my GERD the first two said no. After finding "several" polyps in my stomach a bypass is no longer on the table. I am nervous, scared, excited, stressed and worried. My adult children are not happy I am doing this. Even my long time friend is cold to the idea. My sister in law had her surgery last year in Mexico and had many buddies. I am going through my husband's health insurance. I have attended a meeting but had company this month and was unable. I only had 12 days notice for this surgery.

Did you have the surgery done?

I wish I was on here more frequently so I could have seen this. How are you doing?

my surgery was on May 31st, just a little over 5 weeks ago. I am feeling more like myself now. Trying to get the Water in and the calories up. I have been averaging 500 to 600 calories a day this week. Definitely headed in right direction. Saw the dr yesterday and was told to get my caloric intake up as well as my Protein. Thank you for asking. Did you have the surgery?

Seems like you are doing pretty good now. Are you getting more support from your family now as well?

Yes I had my surgery back in 2012. I lost about 100 in total and I am working to take another 20 off. That's a tough 20 to get off that's for sure.

      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?
