Hi Everyone!

Yes there is a FB that is private. Strength In Numbers Sleeve Support is the title of the group. There are about 5-7 of us in there. Would be great if people would join so we can chit chat easier on FB and get to know one another.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cathy and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am being sleeved by Dr. Alejandro Lopez at Tijuana Mi hospital on Sept. 2/13. I am staying at the Marriot. I am very excited with a little pinch of nervous. Anyone else out there on this date.

Hi Cathy,

Yes I will be in TJ for surgery 9/2 by Dr. Venazuela. I did get a chance to talk to Beth. So that will make 3 of us pacing the halls!

I believe Jo Brown was looking into setting one up. Not sure of status.

That link doesn't work.

Another September 10th here. Would like to join a Facebook group if someone sets it up!

I will be having my surgery on September 16th at the Fresno Kaiser hospital. I kinda wish they had a sooner date for me but I didn't want to change surgeons and I still have labs and another visit with the surgeon that I have to get done before the 16th. So this gives me time to get everything done at a relaxed pace,gives me another month to gather post op necessities, and gives work plenty of notice so they can figure things out as far as schedules go!

Do you think you have to be retested after the antibiotics?

Yes, some physicians will redo blood work .

Same for me! I have been away from my computer all day long (working with about 30 kids on a circus:) ) and I am just now catching up!

      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!
