I am super excited, I have booked my surgery and my flight with Dr. Kelly for May 10th! :rolleyes: anyone else having their surgery that day? My plane ticket is purchased, and everything is ready to go. :D I will be traveling alone, which kind of scares me. :unsure: Anyone else traveling alone? or have traveled alone?

Do you mind me where you are travelling from, or what state? I may end up being a sleeve buddy to you. I am pretty sure I am going with Dr Kelly. Just need to fill out the forms & figure out a date!

I just had tonsillectomy & uvullectomy last week though, so in huge amount of pain right now. Have to drink Water & just hurts to do it. :(

So waiting until this surgery is over & I am feeling better, before I book with Dr Kelly.

I would also be travelling alone, from NJ. So would love to have a sleeve buddy there to meet up with!

Congratulations! I don't think you will regret it at all. I went back to work today and am feeling great just 10 days after my sleeve. Never once threw up, had the slimeys (not sure what they are and don't want to know)no pain. I'm just dying to get to the mushie food stage. Never thought I would be craving a scrambled egg!

Lol DDFin I bet after so much liquid you would be craving eggs. That is going to be the hardest thing for me I think, I love crunchy stuff, even healthy crunchy like carrots and cucumbers! Thank you for your good wishes and your willingness to encourage and share your experience. Good luck going back to work!

      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!
