Got my sleevie yesterday!!!!! Only nausea I had was last night when I stood up for a minute, as soon as I laid down it felt better. Only pain is this one stinkin gassy area, but when I finally laid completely flat it felt much better. I was so hungry yesterday cuz surgery didn't happen until 2:30. It is so weird to not feel hungry NOW. Waiting to do my barium swallow (gag barf) to see if I can start sipping. Oh, and the hysterectomy went well too. I should be released tomorrow. :)

Good luck today! You've encouraged me about my date - 10/11 in just 12 days! I've read too many "complication stories" and have got myself worked up inside, emotionally, with fear. I know everything will be fine. There are more stories like yours that outweight the "horror" stories! Thanks.

I was sleeved on tuesday and as well got myself really worked up about the 'what ifs'. Day of surgery was painful with the gas coming out and every day since has been great. As long as you doc has a good regime for you to follow you will do great! I even stopped taking pain meds on thursday night. And I barely took any during the day thursday. Just remember to keep walking and sipping. Those are the secrets ;) Good luck

      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!
