Sleeve this morning!



Recommended Posts

Ok I'm ready. I am finally registered and I'm sitting in the waiting room holding my little slip of paper that says I'm number 10.

Surgeries start at 7:30 and mine will be the 3rd one sooo I'm gonna be here awhile I think. I can take a good amount of pain so hopefully it won't be too bad. ..... Any words of wisdom?

Yes!!! The pain will be 10 times less than you expect!!! Relax. The unknown is what is scary. I am 67 and used 1 dose of pain medicine at home. I was in the grocery store 4 days after surgery, and I was shopping 2 hours, 2 weeks after surgery. I have not slowed down since. I have so much energy and finally out of the chair I had slumped in for the past year. Loving life again!!!!! Best wishes!!!! First day of the best of your life lol!

Good luck, you will be fine. Everyone is different when it comes to pain. I was in sooo much pain afterwards but by day six I stop my pain meds. Keep your eyes on the bigger picture...better life, and a healthier 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!
