I'm in Calgary. I would love to keep a support network going for us Calgarians. Please check in regularly and update. Perhaps one day and meet and greet?

I don't know about a 'Calgary Program' that was mentioned by @kelliecalgary. I just did my own research, selected to go through A Lighter Me and pulled the trigger. What is 'the Calgary Program'?

I am pre-op, with surgery scheduled in Tijuana on August 24.

I board the plane to San Diego tomorrow morning. Gastric sleeve surgery Sunday morning. It's been a blur, honestly. July 29 decision made, deposit paid. Less than a month and I'm having surgery.

No time to panic. Oh, except I have not packed yet!

:)

Hi. Out of hospital now and resting at hotel. my experience at Mi Doctor Hospital was mostly good. he staff and doctors are terrific. I am not in pain or discomfort.

on the road to recovery. no scale, so I don't know my current weight. I'll know soon enough, though.

My diet is Water, broth, gatorade, Jello, popsicles. Until I get home on Friday. No Protein before then.

good luck to everyone.

      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!
