Hello,

I love all my rainbow sleeves, but we know different races experience different issues. I was sleeve October 1. Started at the highest 260, surgery day 250 and currently 222. I did not have Major issues. Normal but my 2 month anniversary is December 1. The only thing I notice so far,hiccups when I'm full. My skin is looking great, hair cannot tell u cause I keep it braided and sewin(lol) I don't do beef or pork, chicken and turkey has been my friend. I stay on my period longer cuz I suffer from fibros. I will keep u guys updates.

So happy to have stumbled upon this thread. I was originally scheduled to get the lap band & recently had a change of heart after reading some posts from others that had to have the revision. I am so excited to be getting sleeved on Dec. 17th. You all have done such a great job with your weight loss and I cannot wait to be a sleever & start reaching my own milestones.

      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!

        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.

      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!
