I have officialy been sleeved!



Recommended Posts

I'm going to keep things short and sweet because I go in out of being awake to being asleep. My surgery was yesterday on 4/9/13 in South Mississippi. Dr. Avara is my surgeon and he did a wonderful job with my surgery and aftercare!! I'm experiencing discomfort but mostly I'm doing well! I don't regret, the time, effort or energy that has been put into this journey! My life was at stake without this procedure so I chose life! I would like to scream a big thanks to all of my previous, present and further VST forum supporters!

I just want to report my 10lb weight loss! I'm a week out today! I'm so happy that I took this step in the right direction for my health.

How are you feeling, are you back at work?

Im feeling pretty good. My incisions are healing well. I'm no longer in need of pain meds. I must admit I'm tired, which I think is because I'm not taking my Vitamins correctly all of the time. I haven't gone back to work yet. I was fortunate enough to take the entire month off! Thanks for checking on me @Ir983286!

      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!
