Hi there! Best of luck on your surgery. I wish I were going in July. I certainly hope so but it would be wishful thinking since my first surgeon appt is June 18th. My insurance approved though and my only requirements are nutritionist (also scheduled for the 18th) and Psych consult so it is possible...:-)

Has anybody started getting prepared for surgery? By that I mean getting the liquids, Proteins etc.,?

July 24th for me, can't wait! My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet. I was told to eat light for 2 days before surgery.

Good luck to everyone.

i don't think my surgeon requires more than a few days liquid diet.< /p>

I am "practicing" eating low-carb, taking little bites but most important I been practicing not drinking while eating. I stop drinking anything 30 minutes before I eat and I wait at least 30 minutes after I eat to drink...to me this would be the most diffficult change- this is the one rule they say has to be followed forever.

It actually hasn't been to bad but does take getting used too, will be so glad to have to practice set in by surgery.

I'm hoping for July 24 too! Last appointment with dietician is June 30, then if approval goes smooth I'll be a July sleever too!

Got my surgery date today....July 1st!!! Yay! I'll be starting my 2 week pre-op diet on 6/17.

I went ahead and applied with insure nutrition as soon as I had my date to see if I could get my Protein shakes covered by my insurance. I don't know if they'll be covered, but I figured it was worth a shot. If you haven't checked into it, go to their website and apply (www.insurenutrition.com) . If your insurance will cover, you can pick between Optifast shakes or Premium Protein (which I like) and they'll deliver to your door!

Best of luck fellow July sleevers! :)

      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!
