I had the same exact thoughts that U are having. I went from lap band to sleeve on 7/17/13. I am 30 and a mom of 3. I was terrified leading up o surgery. I was making myself nuts. Thinking morbid thoughts like what my house would be like without me. CRAZINESS!! Then I just prayed about it and asked my husband if I was doing the right thing. I got reassurance from god and my husband. You just have to try to push the negative thoughts out of your mind and think positive thoughts about how slim and healthy u will be a year from now. You will be just fine!!

Hi, I have my surgery a week ago today and I know it's very early but this is way more of an ordeal than I was lead to believe. So far it's been a huge struggle with several complications (infection, pneumonia), although purported the operation went well, it's been so hard. Now I am also feeling shaky and uneasy all the time.

I'm also having surgery August 6th. And yes all these things are running through my mind too. I'm glad I've told several people I am having the surgery, because I feel like I might chicken out otherwise. I haven't been hungry, but I still want food. I need to find a new hobby!

      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!
