Now officially less than a week away. My nerves are already working overtime. Yikes! I am ready to begin my journey to health.

Surgery later today-still awake at 1am' date=' have to get up at 5am to leave by 6am for 8am check in at Swedish (darn traffic!). Surgery is at 10:40am and my husband will be staying overnight in the hospital with me. I have been nervous at times, but my way of coping with things I don't like (dentist etc) is to put them off until I absolutely have to- which will mean when I have to put on that hospital gown. I take a page out of Scarlett O'Hara's playbook and say "I'll think about that tomorrow". Working so far! Skin feels dry from that darned hospital soap- sensitive skin. More later! Good luck all you July 2nd folks![/quote']

Happy Sleeve Day to you!

Keep us posted, all the best to you.

Okay, I'm getting ready to leave here in about an hour to go to the surgery center. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I was sleeved on the 1st at 8:00... They sent me home this evening because main pain level was down to a 5, I passed by swallow test, and I was able to keep 3 hours of liquids down. I had a three hour, MISERABLE ride home. Now pain is back at a 10 and the crushable painkillers are NOTHING like the IV stuff. :( Just took a shower and cried through the whole thing. The gas hurts, I can't tell if the Gas X is helping. Mainly my stomach & incisions HURT! I feel like they are going to rip out. Enormous amounts of pressure.

      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'. ???

      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!
