Just home, surgery was yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Well, I am SLEEVED!!! It honestly doesn't feel much different at all! I did have a hiatal hernia they had to repair, that was very uncomfortable for the first 2 hours after waking up, and the gas felt like something was sitting on my chest, but that has improved with every hour. Walking around and sipping Water to burp was the best relief.

I am home now, on my couch watching TV. I will try to update my video blog journey today to describe more fully the experience and go show my incisions but I am just so thrilled. I'm happy to be a member of the club and I already don't miss my old stomach!

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. My only issue is my friend's wife had the bypass and had complications. He told my room mate and I think he is concerned he will have to take care of 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!
