MAY 2019 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi all I am scheduled for May 3rd in Mexico. Anyone else gearing up for surgery?
I am scheduled for Wednesday. Both nervous and excited. Not looking to a few more weeks of liquids but I know it will be worth it

Finished with last appointment and submitted and approved by insurance. Got ‘the call’ from the office with confirmation with date, May 14th and time 8:00am, I’m first up. I have my Vitamins all set and picked up my scripts. Started shopping for clear and full liquids and will be all set with that by the end of the week. I’ll start to transition things to my backups in two weeks and then my last day in the office is May 10th. Told to expect a 2 night stay but no catheter, no drains, no feeding tube, and no blood thinner shots. This thing is really gonna happen...

I'm not nervous for the surgery at all, but I think I'm starting to mourn the things that I won't be having again: my morning Mcdonalds diet coke, my hot cafe pretzel on Target runs, my cinnamon bears at CVS, the cinnamon twists at Dominos...okay, i need to stop!

On another note, we moved from Helena, AL to Hawaii 6 years ago. Love me some Zoe's Kitchen. Roll Tide!

Are y’all nervous?

Extremely. Keep thinking about all the things that could go wrong. During AND after!

      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?

        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.
