This came up and was posted on another forum. Some one asked a question about rather tell or not? This is where I'm at so far. I have only told a few people about my upcoming surgery. I wanted to tell my mom. But she wasn't supportive of weight loss surgery. I may tell her when I get a date.

My hubby however, is becoming even more supportive.

Don't be scared its a lot of information to take in....my sleeve date is 12/12/12 and I'm nerves only because I've never has surgery before. But I'm ready to change my life and get healthy. It's gonna be risk and I think if I follow the doctors orders u will be fine. Just stay positive!!!

This is a major surgery! I went 10 years ago to a gastric bypass seminar, and then 5 years ago to the lap band seminar. At both sessions, I was over 310lbs. Even though I knew that I needed help, I wasn't ready for surgery and the changes. I was afraid of how I would look with the skin and the lifestyle of not being able to enjoy eating. 10 years later, I still don't have any health issues other than knee pain and I am finally ready for the change.

Take some time - the surgery will be here when you are ready. There may even be a new procedure that you feel more comfortable with.

      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!
