Hello All! I have been lurking around for a couple of weeks and decided to officially become a member today. I am scheduled to be sleeved by Dr. Garcia on August 10 and the nerves are beginning to kick in! I'm so excited, but nervous! I am so ready to begin this new chapter in my life, but scared of potential complications while in Mexico. I will be making the trip on my own, which definitely does not help my nerves! :)

I look forward to following others' journeys and share in the excitement of new beginnings for us all.

I am pretty sure we are at different hospitals. :( Dr Kelly is at the Florence Hospital. We are still sleeve sisters none the less. I will look for your posts. Are you on the August sleevers forum?

      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!
