Hello Gay Sleevers



Recommended Posts

@semaj80, so as someone with diagnosed anxiety, there is nothing that completely satisfied me so I wouldnt have surgery anxiety. I just meditated and tried not to overthink it. I guess it depends on what you have anxiety about? Im about 4.5 months put and very happy with my decision. It doesnt mean that there arent times when I wonder if I made the right decision (because I definitely wonder that) but it does me that on balance I feel great. It is a constant struggle but a much better struggle than when I had all the weight.

Surgery is a week from tomorrow.

Currently freaking out about loose skin and feeling bad about myself because I'll never look anything like this:

17 days post-op and I feel good! I got dehydrated yesterday because a new multi-day wave of nausea kept me from drinking as much Water as I should have been. I'm back on track with the water now though. And down 26lbs!

Hi guys,

I am two years out from surgery. Now down to 224lbs (I am 6'2) but finding that I am still 25% body fat. I've been working out for the last 8 weeks at the gym but I am now wanting to get more serious with training and tracking results.

If anyone is in a similar position I would love to find some one to help keep each other accountable.

Cheers!

      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?
