I have my gastric sleeve on January 27th with Dr. Watkins in Cincinnati. I know it sounds funny to say I'm looking forward to something involving surgery, but I really am!! Can't wait to use this powerful tool to get this weight off and get healthier again!!!!

We are the same day. It's beyond hard. But I'm going to hang in there. I fell off on day three but I'm going strong now.

For those of us that have had a hard time on pre-op - are you telling your surgeon?

Are you following pre op to a T otherwise or making substitutions? I read a very low carb diet will shrink the liver.

I'm on day 1 of pre-op diet. I have a headache, I think from carb withdrawal. Other than that, it's not as bad a I feared. I will follow to a T. It is a safety issue. A smaller liver equates to a safer surgery.

      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!
