Thanks! I'm getting really nervous. I even had a dream that I'd had my surgery and I just woke up and my stomach was really sore! LOL! I'm ready but I'm nervous! :D

Yay!! Congrats! I was approved months ago, but had to do a stint in chemotherapy, then wait two months post chemo to get re-considered for the sleeve.

So far so good. Took all my test, still have to see the Psych and the Dietician, doc says he should be able to get me in by mid October. The insurance company is making me see the dietician in two separate months for it to count as three consective consultations.. so I'm scheduled for 9/11 and 10/1-- I just can't wait..to start this journey.

I wish it was October already..lol not that I want to wish away summer, of course.

      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!
