Starting the process, looking for information



Recommended Posts

I go for my consultation the end of July. Thinking I want to do the sleeve. Does anyone have this and not like it? Or wish they had gotten it. I am trying to eat a more "limited" diet to see if I can follow through with out soda and sugar. How did everyone adjust to the different diet? I am 5'3 and weigh 230lbs. Looking to lose 100lbs. Any tips for me?

Welcome mommamiller, I hope you receive the information you need. There is forum on here started by s9meone who says she is sorry although most people aren't, quite a few,regard it as a REBIRTHDAY in their lives and feel quite lucky,to have found it.

I'm getting the sleeve!I had my first nutrition/exercise class yesterday and someone asked how often their patients regret having WLS and they told us that this virtually never happens. They also said that a majority of their patients who have revisions do so out of medical necessity (such as having severe acid reflux), but not due to lack of weight loss.

I had a bypass . Mainly for maximum weight loss and to get rid of any chance of reflux . I also notice(d) that many sleevers tend to have revision to bypass for medical reasons . I didn’t want to chance having two surgeries .

I’ve had zero issues, pain or vomiting etc or anything people tend to think of when they think rny

Good luck with your decision

      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!
