Got my date today! I'll be sleeved June 12th by Dr. Marc Bessler. I'm excited but very nervous, truth be told. But my family will be there to support me so I'm grateful for that :D Good luck to all my fellow June sleevers!

Congrats. My surgery is on Thursday at NYU. Dr. Kurian. So nervous though.

Glad to see a fellow NY Sleever! I get that totally. After signing my consent forms I got this feeling like, oh sh*t, what have I gotten myself into?? But I have built up a lot of inner strength in the last few months and I know in my heart it will be for the best. Wishing you lots of luck!

Hey Ruby,

Awesome. We're in good hands! I didn't get the scripts filled yet but probably over the weekend. I am starting the liquid diet with the dinner meal option tomorrow. I bought a smoothie shaker bottle and $250 in Protein powder so I'm ready to go! Wishing you all the best!

      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!
