Hello,

I was sleeved on 5/1/2012 and I was so depressed and almost angry at times - my doctor said that was because I was very nervous about everything and was/am having anxiety. Maybe check with you doctor and there might be something he/she can give and or recommend something that may help you. I walk - I can't walk far but I walk as much as I can and I really try to stay busy and most important to me - I get as much sun as I can take :)

I hope this helped you in some way - Good Luck :)

I had it bad for almost 6 weeks....depression, hopeless feeling, got really angry for almost no reason. It will pass. My best suggestion is don't make any major decisions and really think about things before you say them. I said some things to people that I wish I could take back! Now looking back, I realize I was half outta my mind! 3 months out, everythings fine now.

The first 4-6 weeks were tough, was thinking I was going to melt overnight and when it wasn't happening it was depressing. Three months out now and doing and feeling great. It will pass.

I have. Sleeved one week ago and mine is over having made a decision that cannot be undone - I think that is a normal reaction to any life- altering decision that is irreversible. I just have to keep reminding myself it will pass -- what choice do I have???

Yep- this surgery took away my best/most consistent friends: food. It's a natural thing I believe. You will pull out of it. It will get better. Lots of love!

      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!
