My surgery was 9/6/12. Down 77 so far and loving my sleeve. No real issues but still on some meds for diabetes (even tho doc says I can stop my a1c was 5.0!) More energy and today I got up off the floor without touching anything! NSV!

I hope we both continue to do well. I plan to be at goal by one year surgiversary!

God bless,

liz

good job, both of you...liz, I am curious as to why you are still on meds for diabetes if your a1c is only 5.0...that is a non-diabetic level

Tigerbelle,

Doc said I could quit but my blood sugar levels still go pretty high. I have always had an issue with my daily tests being way higher than what my A1C says. Just don't want to feel bad when the glucose is too high. I am cutting back on the meds at what feels comfortable to me. I also have alot of stress right now (ill husband and my dad just had a stroke) which contributes to the high readings and I can't control that. . I will get there, no doubt!

New G...yes, stay in touch! We GOT this...

      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!
