Congrats to all the sleevers. I was told in June of this year I was approved for the sleeve. I went thru ALL of the steps. Classes dr appt etc. At the end of everything I was expecting to be in surgery late September early n October. On my last consult I was told I was not a candidate for laparoscopic because of two mesh repairs. I'm in Memphis tn. No dr in Memphis will do an open cut. I was referred to Nashville Tn. I'm disabled and don't have the funds nor transportation. I'm so diss appointed its unreal. Sorry for the long text. Just venting. .....SMH

Hi Tsmyle: yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you made it through just like I knew you would, I know the liquids are hard to get down for now, but sip on your Protein Drink even if it takes you all day to consume just one. Your intake will increase as your body heals, get some sugar free Popsicles they were a life saver for me. Just rest and when your not resting walk around your house as much as you can, that prevents blood clots. Great job!

Tsmyle: Don't you dare give up! I know it's ruff right know, but trust and believe it will get better. Popsicles does the trick, even if that's all you can do. There is a light at the end of the tunnel:)

Im feeling sooooo much better! Thanks for your prayers. Im still trying to get in my fluids and Protein, but Im definitely able to eat (drink) better than before. The hardest thing for me is the water! And i wish i had more liquid choices, but im thankful anyway! I checked the scale this morning and I believe that i am down 14 lbs already.... That just blows my mind!!! Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.

      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!
