I'm excited to share that I was approved and my surgery date is December 10th! I was hoping to get it done sooner, but my surgeon is an avid deer hunter & hunting season is pretty much a holiday here in Wisconsin. Any other December sleevers out there? I started this journey back in April and I'm so excited to move forward. I will get to 'enjoy' Thanksgiving then start two weeks of SmartForme high Protein food prior to surgery. The pre-op diet doesn't seem too bad, but no caffeine/diet coke will be a hard one!

Thanks! I will have to be on the high Protein diet for two weeks prior to surgery, to help shrink the liver down. I'm very excited! I want to get everything ready for Xmas beforehand so I don't stress out while recovering.

I'm live in northern WI, in the minocqua area, but my surgery will be done at Aspirus in Wausau. I'm so excited, I turn 40 next year, and look forward to the next 40 years as a healthier version of me!

Hi! My surgery isn't scheduled yet (that will be done at my nutrition appt on Nov. 5th), but my doctor said we could do it sometime in Dec. I'm from Rhinelander and am going thru Ministry in Steven's Point. Good luck on your 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!
