Hey y'all. I was wondering if we had anyone from New Orleans in the group. I'm looking to start a meet up for local sleevers. If you interested let me know.

Hi KajunGumbo! That's great! I'm 15 days post op and have lost 15 pounds; 22 since pre- op meeting. I think I had a real easy time compared to some folks. Really glad I did it. Message me anytime!

How much are you eating? Are you handling solids?

I am on soft foods now. You kind of learn how much you can handle pretty quick. Your body has a definite signal, like a catch in your chest, that says you can't eat another bite. I can get about six regular bites, more if you take little tiny ones. Doing great, but kind of overdid last two days taking kids to parades and going out to lunch with friends. Overall, really happy I did this. How are you today??

Completed my preop @ hospital yesterday, heading to Disney for MardiGras until Wednesday. Caught several parades last weekend & last night, that's enough lol

      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!
