You are going to do great! You will be ok. I went for a walk with my friend who had her sleeve done a week ago. She already looks great and went for a really long walk. My surgery is in 4 days so I understand what you are feeling. I have had a ton of nervous energy. Love and prayers to you!

I had my surgery on Nov. 19 and did not have any pain meds other than Tylenol because of my allergies to pain meds. I had incision tenderness but hardly any other pain. My doctor said I recovered the fastest he had seen patient recover and felt it might have been because of the lack of pain meds. So I know most people take meds but I couldn't and did great. Best of luck tomorrow. Just breath!

I am allergic to pain killers as well. This makes me feel better since I won't be taking any besides Tylenol :) thank you

I'm on day four. First day and second you'll need help but just keep walking around as soon as you can and sip sip sip. Quicker you get Water and Protein and get the air in you out you'll feel great! Day 4 and hardly any discomfort!

      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!
