That's crazy that you weren't given any instruction on weight loss b4 surgery. The weight loss b4 helps shrinks your liver to speed up recovery, and surgery time. Make sure to explore this forum, lots of ppl have great ways of getting prepared..Good Luck!

I'm super excited to be joining everybody here. I started this journey on July 19th and my surgery to get sleeved will be on October 16th. So just under 3 months and that's with meeting all the requirements for my insurance which is Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Tomorrow morning I am starting on low carb low fat and then on October 1st I have to start with replacing two of my meals with the liquid Protein. I'm excited to travel this journey with everybody here and hopefully be a support group to one another. My surgeon is Dr Jawad in Orlando.

I should add that my current weight is between 285-290 and I'm hoping to get that to 270-275 by surgery date.

      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!
