Mine is on the 19th only a few on here with that date. So i hope im not butting in. I go Monday for my upper endo. The pre op has not been to bad I've had 3 weeks of muscle milk light. I've lost 25lbs so far and 12lbs before the pre op. I've been trying to talk myself out of the surgury so I'm guessing my nerves are getting to me. But I'm committed to do it. I'm not getting younger (40) and its getting harder the more I gain. Was 352lbs I am just really nervous my wife has had 2 c-sections and her Gaul bladder out. She calls me a big wimp. I guess I'll see. Good luck to y'all to.

I am having pain on the right side and in my back I am trying to get down my liquids. I was able to on yesterday but today I am really struggling with it. I really don't want to get dehydrated so i am trying to force it. I am very weak today and have a slight headache.

I was sleeved on the 17th too. My first day was my worst by far, had a difficult time with the anesthesia, also have a very large hematoma on the right side of my abdomen.. I have to say that other than that and the occasional gas pain, I'm doing surprisingly well. Getting my fluids in is getting easier so much so that I called the NUT to be sure it was okay. I'm doing 8 oz of liquid in like 30 minutes

      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!
