any November 2017 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had my surgery, the first few hours were rough. Nausea from the anesthesia was rough and the gas pains were no joke. I tried to walk a few minutes every hour from about 5 hours out of surgery on and it helped. My surgeon is against using gas-x so I was not allowed to use mine. I passed the barium swallow and now I need 3 consecutive hours of drinking and keeping down 4 oz of either Water, broth, crystal light or Protein Drink. So far so good [emoji6]


Have a great day!

Hi everyone! I am having the sleeve done on November 29th. I'm on a 3 day liquid diet until then. I'm 58 years old, 203 pounds and 5'1". I'm very excited about it, but admit I'm a little nervous. Any advise?


I'm envious....ive been on liquids since the day before thanksgiving....im about to float away

I've been scrolling this the forum for the last week, before I scheduled my surgery day. It has been very encouraging and supportive to read through all of the stages people are in. I will be here, be sure to reach out to me [emoji4]

Hi Lina!

I had my sleeve done 11/22 and have been recovering since then. I'd be happy to share some advice!

1) It's really important to consume as much liquid (and protein) as you can after surgery. Stay on top of Water and Protein Shake consumption every hour, even though you may feel like sleeping all day.

2) Follow your doctor's plan very closely. That's what matters most.

Got sleeved today!! I had the absolute best OR staff, the last thing i remember before anesthesia is one of the nurses saying you are in really great hands which really relaxed me. Im also very thankful for IV pain medicine. I've been up and walking around as much as I can tolerate. I was only allowed ice chips today that have made me feel sick lately, so I'm nervous for Protein Shakes tomorrow. Also, I don't recommend hiccups the day of surgery [emoji23]

      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.
