THANKS everyone for coming together here and supporting me and each other. I have found so much useful information here. Starting at a lower BMI, I faced some negative reactions to this surgery (i also dont flaunt having sleep apnea and PCOS) and your encouragement and same stories makes me know this was the right choice. So Thank you all.

Ditto on the thanks for the support. I could not have made the decision to have my sleeve without reading so much valuable, sincere and honest information that everyone here has posted.

I'm now 4 days post-op and doing great. I'm at my hotel (been here since Wed!) and getting ready to fly home to Toronto tomorrow to see my wonderful hubby. Skype is great, but no substitute for his loving arms!

Can't wait until I actually start to eat (mushies are better than nothing!) in about 2 weeks!

I love this place too. I'm not on here as often anymore, but I really do love the sense of community here. It's rare for internet forums to be this friendly and nonjudgmental.

      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!
