Any So Cal Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Wow! I just found this forum! Why has it been almost 2 years since someone posted anything?😯😔

I live in San Bernardino county. I was sleeved on August 16, 2017. Im now 4 mos out & have lost 33 lbs but i lost 4 dress sizes. I have 2 daughters both live in my same area & both have been sleeved. One Had her sugery 8 mos ago & doing ok. She's been experiencing some light headness but is okay! The other daughter had her surgery a week ago on Nov. 29, 2017. Shes doing well just dealing with the usual eating problems we all may have experienced till we got to the pureed phase. Are there any other So Cal new Sleevers?

I was sleeved July 19th. 5 months out now, 43 lbs down. Doing very well. Didn’t drop any sizes for 3 months, lost sooooo slowly too. Now I’m in size L instead of 2x! It’s so amazing. Best thing I ever did. Glad your sleevie family is doing so well.

Thank you GotPro!

I think your weight loss is pretty good! Losing it slow to me is the best way to go cause then you dont have to worry about your skin flabing so much! Being 62 I learned that i will have some flabby skin but im not ready to except that! Thats why I read up on taking more collegan to help replace whats lost thru aging! I've add more citrus fruits( now that im off all meds) and I might add collegan powder to my Protein shakes! I'll check with my Dr first of course!😄

Keep up the good work that your doing & I wish you well!

      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.

      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!
