I have been on a waiting list for a consult about 8 months now with no consult date in sight :( I was also told that it will be 3 years before I can have the surgery here so I have made the decision to get my sleeve done in Mexico. Anyone who has done the same I would live to hear from you.

Hey Celine,

Thanks for responding! I actually live in Luskville (10 minutes past Aylmer). :). I would love to talk to you to get details of your experience. If you are up to answering some questions, let me know via email (dianesleeve22@gmail.com)

Glad to know your experience was a great one. It is encouraging for me.

Just had my sleeve surgery at Ottawa Hospital 2 weeks ago. Very good experience overall, but having a few issues adjusting to the new diet. Some foods just seems to go down a whole lot easier than others, so just wondering if anyone else out there has had similar issues because it seems hard to even eat one scrambled egg now and the whole pureed diet thing I find kinda disgusting.

      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!
