that's awesome. When I told my mom I wanted this surgery, she told me she had been thinking about getting the band. I've tried to steer her away from that as gently as possible, but I know she's curious to see how I do with surgery before she makes any decision. I hope to be by her side if she makes this choice too! What a wonderful thing to go through together!!

Good luck to her! and to you too!

That is so great! When I started this process both my parents didn't want me to do it. My mom has just about made a 180 turn. Don't get me wrong, I wont be sitting by her side watching her sleep after her sleeve (she doesn't need it anyway) but she is so supportive now. It is great to have wonderful relationship with your momma! It is great that you are such an inspiration to so many!

That's great that she's supportive. My mom doesn't "need" me here but she was there for me during my 3 day stay so I decided to return the favor so she won't be alone and bored. It sucks being in the hospital. I work here and so does my dad so we know the ropes and get around with our badge as if it was home. It's fun, lol

My mom was there with me too at night while my husband and kiddos were there during the day. It meant so much to me for her to be there with me, I know your mom appreciates you!

Yes, my dad came this morning and told me to go home and come back (and I'm back) she walked 2 laps and say up for awhile while I was gone and had 60mls of Water. Woohoo!

My dad wanted to spend the night, she said no, lol my poor dad

      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!
