Life post sleeve



Recommended Posts

I was doing my cardio the other day I felt good and was really getting into it. I decided to start jogging for the first time and....... Quickly realized I either need a sports bra or duct tape or at least safety glasses LOL. This problem is much better than weighing 350 I actually laughed but I am looking for suggestions being 43 the way I carried my weight and having lost 89 pounds already I don't see this getting any better. What can I do to at least slow the bouncing.

Hey hunter. I completely get it.

I have to say...I'm 44 and my abdomen was never going to get better until I had a TT, which I did. But my chest did get better and is still getting better. But....until then, there are numerous compression garments that you can wear which may help.

Here's some examples. They are a bit pricey but much more effective than just an under armour type shirt....these things really hold stuff in place. They seem restrictive at first, but you very quickly get used to them and like the feeling of things not bouncing around.

Hunter, you could also look into compression shirts, like Under Armour. You could wear a looser shirt over it too. I am going to look into that since I'm at the weight where I told myself I would start running again (6'4", 300).

      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!
