Sleeve check in and let us know how you are doing when you get a chance. Don't worry if you could care less about posting right now. I was in a funk until I got home from Mexico. All I could think of was...GET ME THE HELL HOME!

Hope you are well. Check in when you can.

hey everyone! I am now officially sleeved!... Its definitely not exactly what I was expecting!... The drain really freaked me out and I was so ready to put something wet in my mouth .... Yesterday was the hardest for me.. The drain was taken out and I think everyone in TJ probably heard my screams! ... Nobody ever prepares you for that or the contast test YUCK!! Today was better.. I got a pedicure and went to a movie (wall street) I drank about one regular sized bottle of Water that had cystal lightin it and a grape popsicle.. And that was all I could do today! Tomorrow

I'm heading home :).. But I'm waiting til I feel more like myslef again! Ugh!.. I'm trying to look into the positives and the future! :)

omg guys! The adhesive from the tape that's holding my gauzes are creating blisters! I discontinued use of the adhesive but it scare me a bit... Should I be worried?

      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!
