HI!! I've been following this site for a few months, since I've started on my Sleeve Quest. I am down to my Psych eval appointment on Thursdy 8/9 and then it goes in to my insurance for approval. I figured to start on with my new journey, that included meeting new friends... and what better friends than ones that have been through all the obstacles you are trying to conquer. You guys are all role models and show the beginners (me included) that this may be a difficut journey but with the right tools you can do it!! NO EXCUSES! Thank you!!

Gotta love spellcheck! I stalked for months too and am so glad I found this group. The other site I have looked at seems to have a lot of fighting and negativity. Not everyone there is like that, but it gets tiring when I'm looking for positive energy for my journey.

      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!
