I have been wanting to listen to this book on Audible.. however, the narrators for the book are awful. It sounds like a robot (for both the female and male voice). It would be nice if the author himself would read the book so that it's more personal and less like we're listening to an automated system from T-Mobile for many hours in the car.

I listened to the sample and it's not too horrid. Plus, you can listen at 1.25x speed (or faster), which is what I usually do on books like this.

This is a great book for people who want to know everything about the sleeve. It takes you all the way through the process. It is a long book so allow yourself time to get through it, but it is well worth it.

I am so glad I am not the only person who felt that way. After listening to a sample, I decided not to make the purchase. I enjoy informative audiobooks for long walks, this definitely won't be one that I purchase from Audible.

Nope, sorry. Has there been an update to the Gastric Sleeve procedure I'm not aware of? ????

I'm on my second time through your book on Audible. PDF info is in a binder. I keep playing, listening, downloading the info to my brain. Listen and learn! Great tools! Thank you!

I found out about the book before the web site. It has been a big help for me in my research. The only complaint I have is typos in the book. I saw at least three before halfway though. I know that sounds lame, but I notice stuff like that.

They make me insane too! We really need to update it one of these days, thanks.

That drove me nuts too. And even a wrong image (RNY labeled as sleeve). For me the frequent typos/grammatical issues made it nearly unreadable because they bothered me so much (totally my issue, it's not actually unreadable). It's really too bad, because it's good information, but they sorely need a new editor.

      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!
