I was doing pretty good until Thursday. I got out of the house for the first time and haven't felt well ever since. Light-headed, dizzy, and nauseated. Feeling better today though.

Glad to hear you are better. Sounds like you'd better take it easy. My surgery is on the 30th. I'm doing the liquid diet now.

I didn't have any issues. Don't try to eat anything before you are supposed to. Even at 3 months out I have to be careful. I usually stick to soft foods because anything dense makes me pretty uncomfortable. I have a Protein Shake every morning for Breakfast because I have a lot of restriction in the mornings and food is impossible lol. The rest of the day I eat cheese, greek yogurt, Beans and lunchmeat. Those are my go-to foods. Good luck!!!

I was sleeves July 12, 2012 by Dr. Timothy Duckett, was sent home today with a picc line and nurse visits every night. I'm unable to keep down fluids and praying a week of steroids via IV will fix the problem. I'm very scared and hoping this is not something more serious than swelling. I should mention I was converted from lapband to sleeve.

Good luck in your surgery I'll be praying for you! I'm sure you'll come out like a champ. Thanks for your prayers, I have faith in God that the steroids will work and no revision surgery will be needed :)

      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!
