June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello All! I am having a hard time processing my feelings about my surgery so I am starting a blog. I have never edited video before so hopefully I can get better. This first video is longer than what the rest will be.

I go for my preop appointment this Thursday. I will be recording parts of that experience. I am not sure if this will help anyone, but it will hopefully help me at the bare minimum.

Thanks and and good luck! Surgery is June 11. So two week away!

Hey @ Amanda403, you are going to be fine! Are you going to be on YouTube? And what are you going to call it? Maybe something like "Anxious Amanda gets Her Sleeve"?👉😧👈

Haha that’s a good one. I am completely nervous as I am sure most are. I thought no I got this though. I am down 43 lbs since January. Next video is to come next week.

Yes, we are going to do it on the exact same day and same surgeon. She is doing her at 7:30am and I am doing mine at 9am. My mom and Dad are going to help us as needed. So it is mice to have help!

Hey, I’m scheduled for the 8th June 2018 in the uk. 224lbs before pre op diet x


Hi Pinkxxx, I am a few days before you on June 4th & starting at 17st (238lb).

Not many of us Brits on here! I'm a Londoner but am having the Op in the Czech Republic - would have loved to have it in the UK but didn't want to pay £12k or have to jump through endless hoops to get it on the NHS! Best of luck to you - not long now!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
