I am doing amazing! I am down 28lbs total 10day preop diet and 6 days post op! I feel great! Still get tired after doing too much so I can last for about 5 hours and I'm ready for a nap. But I know that will pass :) stay positive! You'll do great!

Wow 28 lbs, that's awesome doll. Keep it up! Oh I can't wait to see the scale move. Looking to shed 60lbs.

What is this swallow test that you speak of? I think I've only seen it mentioned once or twice, but have no clue what it is.

For my surgeon, the next day after surgery, hey give you a swallow or leak test. You swallow barium and they the X-ray Doctor looks to see if there is a leak, if not the you get to start your Clear Liquids.

I'm getting ready to be discharged. I had my surgery on Friday :)

Scheduled for lapband to sleeve-8/9. CW-279. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Some doctors do it while you are still under anesthesia (mine did) so some if never experience that.

      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!
