How to find long-time Sleevers?? (3+ years post-op)



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I'm new to this site and trying to figure out how to easily locate long-time Sleevers (3+ years post-op)

I like to get their seasoned wisdom on the experience.

Thanks!

I am 2 years post op. Best decision I ever made! I was in The hospital for 4 days due to N/V, that was the worse it ever got for me so it wasn’t bad. I’m off my CPAP and no longer on any BP meds for over a year now. **take your Vitamins and exercise** Not 3+ years but hope this helps. I do get hiccups often though 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Pushing seven years out here. Are you involved in a bariatric program yet? If so, they should be able to hook you up with some long term post ops, and there may be some who hang around their support group meetings (if they hold them.) Beyond that, ask away, and good luck on this venture.

Four and a half years. There’s a “veterans” folder but honestly there aren’t many of us on here regularly. And those of us on here sorta check in and out.

Thanks all!

My doc does have a monthly meetup for his post-op patients. Hopefully, I can find long-time sleevers there.....as they can better help keep the experience in perspective.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
