Don't let your nerves get to you. The recovery was so smooth at times I doubted if they completed the procedure lol. One minute I was put under the next minute I'm walkin up like wtf just happened and why my lips so crusty lol (thank god for Chapstick). Honestly for me there were no pain at all where the incisions were! Nothing!!!!! The only discomfort I felt was gas pains in my stomach and yes it was very uncomfortable. I did vomit a few times but I was told that was from the anesthesia.

Once I got home and back in my element I was up and out as much as I could. I went walkin in the mall 2 days after being released because the more you walk the faster u remove the gas in stomach.

Hi - I am in S/Jersey near the C.Barry Bridge - My first look into the sleeve was @ Einstein at a seminar - but someone one I knew recommended Dr K in woodstown, NJ - after meeting with him... i knew in my gut that he was the right doc for me. I am 5 months out (i cant beleive i am already 5 months out..)

I am 77lbs down and have gone from a size 20W to 12 I have no idea how many inches i have lost (i wish i kept better track of that & took more pictures these last 5 months) Nice to meet all of 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!
