I love!

by Restored on 04-27-2013 at 06:58 AM
It has be a while since I posted, so I’m stopping by to update my fellow sleevers. I just want to start by saying I love my sleeve! I had surgery close to five months ago and I have already lost 70 lbs. WOW! I already feel a normal level of confidence returning and I’m back to doing things I wasn’t doing just last year. In addition to my sleeve, I also pay attention to my calorie intake, but the calorie counting part is sooo simple because of the way that the sleeve keeps me in check. I love feeling

Air in my esophagus and pouch

by Restored on 02-18-2013 at 04:09 PM
I didn’t have this issue before surgery, but now I have Air in my esophagus and stomach. The best way I can describe it is some form of Aerophagia or GERD but different than gerd with heartburn or anything. It’s more of an issue with air or gas. When I haven’t eaten and I’m feeling hungry, I’ll try to eat solid foods and things just won’t go down unless I force myself to burp. Sometimes it’s more difficult than other to get the air out and I can’t finish eating.

Does anyone have

Guilty of being reclusive

by Restored on 01-13-2013 at 12:34 PM
This is embarrassing to write, but I feel I should share. I have not always been this way, but I have to admit, I have been a bit reclusive. This issue began as I gained my last 50lbs prior to surgery. Aside from work and necessary shopping, I spend all of my time at home. I had my surgery in December and have lost 30lbs, but I'm still not out of the habit of staying hidden in my comfortable PJ's because I feel too fat to be seen. It feels like I’m trapped, sitting and waiting day by day on the

Stuck

by Restored on 12-20-2012 at 11:13 PM
OK Sleeve family, I just thought I should post because it has been a few days since my surgery. Overall everything went well. My Surgery was with Dr Jose Rodriguez in Juarez Mexico at the Star Medica. I’ll start by telling you the worst part of the entire surgery experience for me. The worst part by far was waking up in recovery. The pain was real, and I was feeling trapped for some reason. I don’t usually have issues with claustrophobia, but the anxiety I had being trapped in my bed with the side
