I am getting so excited for my revision! This last 2 years without my Lapband after having it for 6 years has been so difficult! I'm on a constant diet with no results. I know the sleeve will still be hard work, but I can't wait to see some results! I got used to my smaller weight after losing with the band and now I feel like Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal since I regained it! Time to unzip this fat suit! Any other Tijuana sleeves happening on the 15th?

So Nervous. Surgery with Dr Ariel Ortiz is coming up on 1/16. I am so excited but scared. I hate surgery and the IV's but it will be the best investment I have ever made!

I'm on Day 6 of 10 (I started a day early) and so far, so good! The first 2 or 3 days were NOT fun, but now I'm finding that I feel fairly normal! :)

      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!
