I am so glad I read this post, as I wondered the same thing. I guess are Bariatric surgeons really do know what they are talking about, as it sounds like this really is the best surgery for those of us who can't do Portion Control on our own! I too am a fairly healthy eater, I love fruits and vegetables, and at home, I broil, bake and grill everything, I rarely fry anything. I am also fine with butter spray and butter buds. I just eat wayyyyyyy tooooooo much of it. I am soooo excited, I am looking at a tenative surgery date of September. I just did my sleep study last night, and I am so happy I have sleep apnea. Well, not happy about the apnea, but there was a question about my weight in 2009 and I was afraid I wouldn't qualify, so now with the apnea, my doctor told me I would definately be approved! I go for my psych consult tonight, my GI consult on Friday and my 2nd NUT apptmt next Thursday. After all that, I will have 1more NUT apptm, my GI proceedure and my last sleep study to get fitted for my cpap/bipap. So excited!!! Good luck to all of us pre-sleevers!!

      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.

      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!
