Ok guys!

Yesterday marked ONE whole week since I had my sleeve done and it was also the date of my first post-op doctor's appointment. Of course, I was anxious about what they would tell me but it went well. I told them that for some resin the backs of both of my legs were tender and they really didn't have an explanation for that :( and that my heart rate seemed elevated, but I am not experiencing any fever in addition to that. I know that when fever and a rapid heart rate is combined it signifies that there is a possible LEAK!!! So that was good news... The best part of the visit was the weigh in... I'M DOWN 30...yes THIRTY POUNDS in one week... I'm excited.

Yea...it's exciting and scary all at the same time, but I think it's a good start seeing as though I still have about 150 pounds to go. I went to the gym today for the first time and took it easy. I am excited!

      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!
