I think most centers can be different, but I think they want the pre-op test results to be recent, so it should not be too much longer. Good luck and I have my fingers crossed that you will get to do soon.

I've already done all my pre op testing, and my surgery isn't even scheduled yet! I'm looking probably June for surgery date. I'll have to have blood work done again, but all the tests they wanted done, I've already went through. Another lady I know that's having the sleeve with another Dr, she has surgery in 2 weeks and is just now doing all her pre op testing. It really depends on the Dr. I was really upset at first about all the testing my Dr. required that my insurance didn't. But I'm glad we did it! They have found I am low on several Vitamins and am on lots of supplements now.

      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.

      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!
