Welcome Gabbott3. This site will help ease your nerves. You've found a site with many upbeat individuals who are happy to help with any questions you may have. I'm not sure how much you have viewed but so far everything I wondered about before I found this site has been answered in only a few weeks of viewing the many areas. Now prepare your self for unlimited knowledge regarding the vertical sleeve. The one thing I keep telling myself is that everyone's story is unique to the individual. Just because someone else loses more weight than you means nothing. You will lose at your body's pace. Best recommendation anyone can take is to follow YOUR doctor's directives.

That's awesome news! This site has been a wonderful counterbalance to the negative Nancy's "out there" who will tell you how their sister's friend's uncle's fiancé had the same thing done and it didn't help her one bit! Or they just go straight to the 'easy way out' statement.

This group has been such a godsend and has kept my drive to actually do this up. When I get down about this small lull in the process or have a discussion that is disheartening, I come here and read all these wonderful posts from some pretty wonderful people.

      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'. ???

        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!
