Yay, so happy for you! Only a step away from the biggest day of your life...it is a fresh start, new you! You will learn fast to sip sip sip chew chew chew...just after surgery sit up and even walk when you can litter patter up and down those halls..and trust me the more you're up and moving the quicker the air bubbles move up and you can start showing them you want to go walking and you can go home!

I was sleeved by Dr. Pitt through Fresh Start / Ohio Health at Riverside on 4-4. I would love to get a group together and meet once a month. We could do clothing exchange and talk about whatever we need to. I've noticed it's difficult to explain everything to everyone. It would be nice to talk to people who knew what you were feeling first hand.

I think that sounds like a great idea. I haven't been sleeved yet, still in the supervised diet stage. Hoping to get a date soon. I would definitely attend something on a monthly basis.

I would be interested in a Ohio sleeve support group......just got all those hoops jumped and submission to insurance is imminent!

Hi everyone! I am in the Cleveland area and just got approval to start the weight loss surgery program at Kaiser, hoping to get the sleeve surgery in 7-8 months. I am so excited, and it is nice to see that there are other Ohio people out there going through the same thing as me!

      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!
