HI

I just joined today....we are retired military living in texas - close to Fort Hood.....hoping to have Vertical Sleeve surgery in a month or so, been working on it for a month now, things are going pretty quick with few hiccups....only have about 4-5 people ahead of me scheduled for the surgery and i only have 2 more appointments to do....one is the psych eval and hopefully i can get that done on tuesday next week and one is the support group meeting wich is tommorrow......so hopefully things will keep going quickly.........

My daughter( who is now living in Germany) also has been sleeved in january and she has lost 95 pounds to date and i hope i can say the same in the near future.......Im 230 pounds Bmi of 40 and hoping to get to 140 - 150.......

      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!
