Yesterday, I began my pre-op classes which will end at the end of July and so, I am expecting a surgery date in August 2014. That seems so far away right now, but I'd like to jump in feet first from the start. I'm looking forward to sharing and supporting each other in this journey!

I'm scheduled for August 4 with Dr. Lopez in Puerto Vallerta. I've been reading "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" and just working on preparing mentally and emotionally. I am fortunate that a good friend is traveling with my to be my encourager and supporter.

Hello All :) I'm Michelle ( my family calls me Micky). This is my first post. I just wanted to say Hiiiiiii.

My surgery date is set for August 25 @ OCC and I'm so excited. A big decision but I am so ready to

change my life style. The nutritionist tells me I need to aim for a total loss of 26lbs before surgery

(found that out this morning) so its a good thing I started my day with a Protein shake LOL

Anyhow I just wanted to say hi. I look forward to getting to know all of you as we embark on this journey together,

      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!
