Surgery 10/15/2009

[janep 2]

I had the sleeve in Florida on 10/15. I've already lost 26 pounds, so I'm thrilled with that. I'm off my blood pressure medication already (actually I was able to get off of it immediately - the pre-op diet seemed to do the trick). I'm advancing my diet and things are going very well except for a problem with belching. I'm very glad that I underwent the surgery and I'm hoping the one issue I have with burping will resolve on it's own. I am having a hard time getting in everything I'm supposed to. I often don't get all the Protein in - but I keep trying.

Hi Jane, and welcome to the board.

The burping does subside in due time. Congrats on your loss, and best wishes on your continued progress.

Keep us posted with your journey.

Hi Janet, I had surgery in 10/15 also! we are sleeve sisters from a different surgeon. ahahah

Lets stay in touch.

My burping subsided after about week 3. Now at one month out, I do not burp at all.

I used to giggle when I would burp, and say my new tumm is saying howdy. Just introducing herself into the family.

Ya gotta laugh at these things, right?

good luck keep posting.
