Hi everyone' date=' I'm considering the sleeve and after reading this I'm now scared.......lost and confused[/quote']

You have to understand, there are tens of thousands of people from all over the world on this site. So, as harsh as this may sound, there is bound to be one or two that end with complications.

Rip Fred :(

That and any surgery comes with risks. Obesity comes with risks. LIFE comes with risks.

R.I.P. Fred

I thank God everyday that I was given this opportunity to be a healthier person and live longer. I will now thank him to continue to give me life so that I can continue this journey.

OMG, he died where I had my surgery, which means he prob had surgery there too and maybe we had the same surgeon. Wow God bless his soul. :( I'm sad, and he was a firefighter, and so young. Rip sweet man!

      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!
