My surgery date is July 16th. Let me know!! Debtovah

Hi y'all I had my sleeve done on Wednesday and I'm surprised at how much it doesn't hurt. Mite be because I have a failed spine and am in chronic pain from that. Lol. The only issue I'm having is the gas. The gas makes me so nauseas. I'm using Gas-x strips but ow!! Any one have any suggestions please?? And I am walking to help relieve also. Lol Thanx!! Debtovah

Well, it's been 4 days since my sleeve and the gas is finally mostly gone. Very bearable now. I'm down 10lbs so far. Haven't been very hungry but I'm sure that will change. Lol Good luck y'all!! Debtovah

How long did it take for the gas to go away? I'm walking a lot to help it move. Thanx!! Debtovah

I have been walking. Just got back from one. I heard the sane thing so I've been trying to walk as much or just move as possible. Thanx a lot!!!

Hi, I'm getting mine done on the 16th and totally appreciate a group for sure. Only 1 more day to go. Kinda nervous but glad to hear how others got threw it. Thanx!! Debtovah

Thank you for that info!! I get mine done on Wednesday. Debtovah

Thank y'all so much. I've suffered for too long with this disease. I hope it works for me and for other sufferers.

I totally appreciate all the good thoughts!!! Thank you so very much!! Started my day 1 today.

Hi, I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow for my July 16th surgery and would appreciate any help from a mentor while on this journey. Thanks so much!!! Debtovah

It's still in the experimental stage for Hashimoto's. What I was told is that the hormones that the stomach releases can interfere with the thyroid hormones in extreme cases. I seem to be an extreme case. By removing part of the conflicting hormones, it's supposed to calm down some of my severe symptoms. I followed a case where a women's Endo recommended the surgery for the same reasons and her hormonal removal was very successful. My Cardio doc who also specializes in thyroid put me on this path.

Hi, I start my 2week liquid diet tomorrow and I'm scared. My surgery date is July 16th and I can't wait but the food thing is driving me insane

Thank you so much!!! You too!!

Glad to hear that. And congrats on your successful surgery. Any advice for the pre--op liquid diet? Any good recipes? Lol

I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. I'm desperate for suggestions on how to stay full. I drink a 30 gr liquid Protein drink from costco anyway and will be drinking that 3 times a day now. But would love some pre-op recipes. Thank!!! Debtovah

How are you doing post-op?? Is it hard?

Hi terrified, I'm with you on that. My surgery is on the 16th and I'm having it done because of my Hashimoto's Autoimmune Hypothyroid disease. My symptoms are completely out of control and am doing this as a hopeful cure of my disease. I gained a bunched of weight because of it but not enough to normally have this surgery. They are hoping that by removing my stomach hormones, I won't have a fight between them and my thyroid horn ones anymore. This is an extreme surgery for a cure but I'm praying it works. I'm still scared tho. Let me know how it goes!! Debtovah

Hi, my date is July 16th. Is any one on a liquid diet? I'm on one for 2weeks pre-op
