My surgery is April 8 and it seemed like it was still way out there until I got the email with all my pre-op apps and took a look at how many weekends I have left to get everything done and ready! Glad there is a group of us all doing it around the same time. Nice to be able to vent/ stress with folks in the same boat !

I'm getting mine done April 8th, start my pre-opt diet Monday! I'm nervous, excited and scared all in one! Of course I am scared of the surgery and the fear I won't wake up (sure it's natural to feel that way), and scared and nervous of the pain. Scared and nervous that I'll have complications, and excited because if all those things I fear doesn't happen, I'll have a new life! I'm keeping my mind on the "I'm getting a new life" lol. .

I'm scheduled for April 5th and I share the same feelings. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time.

looks like there's quite the group of us getting sleeved on April 8 (Curvey, KatieOkieDokie, Happy01, me - who am I missing?)

I finally got around to trying a protien shake this weekend. OMG.. it was horrible! My husband picked it up at the Vitamin Shoppe - brand was Robb something maybe? The brand didn't look familiar to me at all from posts on here, so I'm hoping that means that the others everyone talks about really are better!!

I have not tried any of them yet.. I really need to be sampling to find the best kind since that will be my life for a couple of weeks. I was very glad to see this page created so that I can keep up with some of the others that are very close to me. I am just curious how many are having the surgery in the states or in Mexico?

      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!
