Sleeved on 2/24



Recommended Posts

I had my Sleeve done on Feb. 24, I had to spend the night in the hospital since I lived so far away. I felt ok afterwards, but still kinda sore. I have been burping a great deal and that is the only uncomfortable feeling that I really have. I don't really have a appetite, but I know that will probably change. I'm still kinda tired but I know that it should get better as time goes by. My doctor told me to not worry about Protein the first week. I just wonder if I will ever get rid of this burping!!

You will! There's a lot of gas in there from the surgery, that has to make it's way out somehow. And you may get lucky with the appetite... I started getting hungry a couple of weeks out, but a whole LOT of people never feel hunger at all after surgery! Congrats on starting your new life! :)

Congratulations. I am just over a month out now. I haven't had any true hunger yet (head hunger - yes, real hunger no).

The burping and discomfort will definitely come to an end. Each day gets better and better. The only thing I have left is tiring easily. But, even that is getting better.

Keep us informed of your progress.

Hi there and welcome to VST. The burping definitely gets better as the weeks go by, and the swelling decreases.

Keep sipping, walking and resting. Keep us posted on your progress.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
