Looking For A Friend/mentor In Kentucky



Recommended Posts

Is there anyone on here in Kentucky that has either been sleeved or going through the process? I am in central Kentucky and it would be nice to have someone to chat with or text when I have questions or struggles. I know several people that have had gastric bypass and lap band but none that have been sleeved.

I'm not in Kentucky but West Virginia - we're neighbors! I would be glad to buddy up with you and go through this process with you. I have yet to be sleeved too, but am looking forward to weight loss success soon.

Ravenswood is a beautiful area! What part of Louisiana now? We have family in Baton Rouge.

      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!
