I'm so excited! I'm getting sleeved January 20 by Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Tijuana, Mexico! He operates out of Hospital MI Doctor if anyone else is going to be there! Let's meet up!

Hello, I get sleeved by him on the 21st of Jan. So, we can certainly meet up. I live in Cinti but will fly to San Diego on the 20th

That sounds great! I am flying from Seattle to San Diego on Sunday the 19th. Cathy said that I am the first surgery for the morning of the 20th, and my mom is right after me. We are so excited to start our "new" life!

So time is flying by, and before I know it Friday morning will be here. I am first thing in the morning have to be there at 5:30 am. I have been cleaning my kitchen all day rearranging everything cleaning out the cabniets and even the fridge, I know my husband and daughter think I'm going crazy my OCD is definitely in full force today just want everything in irder before Friday not trying to come home to a disaster. Bad enough I am gonna gave to depend on a 13 year old to cook and clean since my husband burns Water they'd probably starve uf it was up to him. LOL.

I'm scheduled for the 7th of Jan.... my doc has advised me 1pc of either chicken or fish a day with Soups, green vegetables & skimmed milk/yoghurt. I did hear him say 'no' to natural sugars from fruits but not so sure! Could someone pls advice if natural fruits/juices are allowed on the pre-op diet. lunch, dinner isn't so much of a problem as Breakfast is! Any ideas on how to cope in the mornings? I don't get shakes, powders, etc where I live! Thx in advance

You should probably give your doctors office a call. I have noticed all doctors are so different with the pre op diet. I can have 100% fruit juices but no fruit.

      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!
