Well in less than 24 hrs I will be in surgery. Today I'm doing my clear liquid diet and the bowel prep! Lovely! But soon it will be a distant memory. I seriously can't wait to have some Soup haha. I have been living on balance bars for months so I am going to welcome soup and mushy food. It's more options than I have given myself in the past few months. Once I am out of surgery and in my room tomorrow I am going to update everyone on how I feel a play by play of the experience so maybe it will help others who are waiting for their big day.

Good luck! Once I was in my room, I was "out of it". Having a conversation was too tiring. I couldn't imagine using the computer that whole week. But I hope you do update us all--I'm sure it will be helpful for all pre-ops!

Best of luck!

I was just at my PCP office today and I have been referred for a Gastric Sleeve surgical consultation. I am a single mom and I am scared, but, I know that God is with me and is going to take care of me.... I am excited to see the journey that I am embarking upon because I have always had a weight problem. I will let you know how it goes...

Please do theBeez

This prep day is draining mentally and physically from lack of food but I'm going to bed soon so I can sleep through the pain haha. Just can't wait for it to be over and feeling better.

      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!
