Hi Britt, welcome to BariatricPal.

It's perfectly normal to be nervous and excited before surgery. It is an unknown since you have not had surgery, I'm sure you are worried about how much pain you will experience, and might have doubts if it will work for you. I know I had these. I got four hours of sleep the night before my surgery. You will probably get plenty of sleep tomorrow after surgery.

Good luck with your surgery, and please let us know how you are doing. You might want to go into your profile and change your surgery type to sleeve. That way you will get topics related to your surgery type. You are currently showing as a lapband patient.

If you have any questions on how to change your surgery, please let me know..

Thank you! I originally went in for the lap-band and had never even heard about the sleeve! But Im very happy about changing my decision!

Don't worry about not getting sleep. You'll be plenty sleepy post -op. Plus being tired and sleepy before might help curb some of the jitters.

Ok thanks!

Lol I'll guide you on the top of the page you will see your picture.. Click it and in the drop down menu will have a "patient profile" click that and it will bring you to the page to change it :)

Let me know of it works if not I'll have someone do it for you :)

      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!
