Yay! Do you want to be surgery buddies? Since we are similar in our goals, I think it would be helpful and it would be nice to have someone who starts at the same time.

YES, that we so cool. I don’t know how this works. I don’t think we would post messages on this thread cuz it would be confusing. Not sure how we do this.

I’m getting the sleeve in April 5! So nervous and so excited at the exact same time

If you were not nervous and excited, I would be worried :) Here is wishing us both smooth sailing on April 5th!!

Hi to everyone. 🙋🏻‍♀️ New here. I’m almost finished with pre-procedure testing. Stress test is 3/29. Everything else is complete-today I turned in sleep study ‘stuff,’ did upper GI, U/S, and chest x-ray, EKG. All labs done, psych cleared me last week.
Cardiologist said that my hoping for a 4/08-ish surgery date is probably very doable.
I was thinking gastric sleeve, but today’s upper GI confirmed hiatal hernia (half of my stomach is in my chest 😳…no symptoms…) so I’m thinking my surgeon will say his surgical plan will be repair and RNY. I’m okay with that.
I typically lurk on these boards (infertility, pregnancy, twin pregnancy, older moms, homeschooling). I have found the members on every board I’ve been on to be a wealth of information.

I too was leaning towards the sleeve but my endoscopy showed that the Bypass would be a far better option. Fingers and toes crossed for you, I would cross my legs but I cant LOL

Hi anyone 65+ having sleeve surgery. I’m worried about my age. My surgeon says it’s fine but I can’t help but be nervous.


I’m 67 and the thought of anesthesia bothers me but that’s just one of my quirks. The cardiologist had no issue with it all so I’m chalking my nervousness up to me being me.
Your surgeon wouldn’t do it if he didn’t think you were a great candidate.
I totally understand where you are coming from though.

First I was RNY, then a friend had sleeve so I was Team-Sleeve. The hernia though is a game changer I’m sure. Fingers and everything else crossed for you. 😊

My sister had the sleeve last December and has a laundry list of health issues and did absolutely amazing and continues to do so. Being nervous is normal, these are life changing procedures, but for the good. Sending you love and support.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
