Glad to meet you Brandy, I was called today to schedule my surgery but found out that the doctor only does surgeries every other week and I work 7 days on then 7 days off & guess what those are all my work weeks. Very frustrated now! Not sure what to do really don't want to have to miss work.. I have no sick days, Very upsetting !!! So glad for you though!!! Let me know when you get scheduled. Happy Sleeving!!

So happy for you! I am scheduled with Dr Malley at New Hope Surgical Center in Overland Park. Did you loose weight before surgery? If so how much if you don't mind sharing.

You will love him! I haven't had Abby complications at all..not even vomiting!! I highly suggest you take a few gas x pills the night before surgery to keep from getting the shoulder gas pain....it makes all of the difference in the world!! Good luck to you!!

My surgery is quickly approaching..I can hardly believe it!! My journey started last August and now it's almost here!! I get sleeved this Wednesday, March 13, at Prairie Star at 11:30 am by Dr. Hamilton. I'm getting nervous, but I watched the surgery online by Dr. Hoehn and that actually put me at ease some. Can someone walk me through what I should expect from the moment arrive to when I get discharged. Also...what prescription pain meds do they give you....I forgot. Thank you all in advanced for the great information on this site.

      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!
