Congratulations! My surgery is on the 16th! (I sound like a broken record :blush2:, I am so darned obsessed with this website!)

Anywhoo, welcome! Read away. Tons of great information! As good and experienced as my surgeon and his team are, there is no way they have time to teach us everything I have learned here.

Come visit us on the November Sleevers forum.

I don't really have any tips, but I am being sleeved the SAME DAY!! WooooHooooo! My Dr has us do a pre-op diet & that is really tough, but it is almost done, right... Of course I have lost like 5lbs on it and my, always skinny hubby, thinks I should cancel the surgery & just diet!! Seriously, he is just worried about the actual surgery, he told me once I am out of the OR he will be positive, until then he is neutral LOL... such a worry wart!

November 14th seems to be a popular day for surgery. That's when mine is scheduled also! Halfway done with the pre-op liquid only diet (you lucky ones who get at least one meal daily or vegetables!)

Anyone thought about how they are handling Thanksgiving? Luckily dinner is not at my house this year. My family all knows so I I have been relieved of having to bring any food. I will be up to full liquids by then so I'm thinking maybe cream of chicken soup!!

Debi C., I'm getting sleeved on the 15th~ I had my pre-op visit & labs today. While there, I bought some cream of mushroom Soup, Tomato Soup & cinnamon hot chocolate. I bought some pre-mixed Protein Drinks on the internet also. Hoping that with the variety, I won't feel deprived on Thanksgiving. Best of luck!

      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!
