Hello there. I am rather new here also, had sleeve 11/18, but started researching on the site in October. There are a couple private Facebook groups, and if you just search on Facebook you will find them and reqeust to join. Knowledge is certainly power in this journey. On this site, just keep looking and reading. There are groups such as "December sleevers". Just check it all out. If you have a question, just post it in topics and you will get a lot of support and answers. Always remember when in doubt, call the doctor, don't risk seeking medical advice here.

There will be others who respond to this, and you can friend the ones you thing you might want to get to know better. Also, you can post a topic such as "any Miami sleevers? and put your city in the post, and you will find people who live near you, to friend. Your doctor's office might be able to refer you to support groups in your area.

Happy New Year! Would love to hear more about your journey. Linda

Wow! That is so awesome. I know you are proud of yourself. Proud for you. I have totally read everything I could find online, on Facebook, and by chatting with others. There are good friends here, who will gice you a lot of support on your journey. I think this is important for all of us, because we do not always get that from people close to us. You will see that by the posts made here. Good luck to 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.

      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!
