CONGRATULATIONS Valentina!!!! Our sleeves will be twins!!! (I have June 6th surgery date too!) I know you read my other post that I am a bit nervous. But I have been so encouraged by this forum, including YOU!!!

I finally received my final approval--finally! :cheer2: :humble::peace: :roll:

I am scheduled for surgery for June 6th and was on my pre-op diet on my surgeon's insistance. He said he would get my surgery done and that was that! What do ya know?--a surgeon that says what he means?!!B)

I feel like a real "Jewel of June"--not just a wannabe or fake costume jewelry :D !!

Look out world! The Jewels of June are heading your way!!!!!:car:

It's a good thing that we are on oposite end of the country or the surgeons just might be tempted to staple us together!!! ( Now that was just damned silly--sorry!) :dance: Keep in touch as we we carpool down this road together!:car:

Jewels of June--Whooooo Hoooo!:grouphug:

Yayyyy Valentina, so happy for you!!! It's a good thing you got a quick date, less time to worry. You will do great! And there may be some sour type Protein powders, I think it may be the syntrex Nectars? ? You can google it but seems Roadside Lemonade sounds familar. Or is that an alcoholic drink? Haha. They've got some kinda lemonade. Good luck and I am sure you will keep us updated. :)

:hippie:

      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!
