I had my sleeve done yesterday. There's quite a bit of upper left sided pain when first waking up and going to the restroom. Lots of gas trapped in the back and under the ribs. Pain does get better as the day goes on. Welp heres to the start of my new body!

Congratulations!!! I have 19 more days!! Keep us posted on your recovery!!

@ BunnBunn first of all you have to give it some time, you body has to adjust to a lower calorie diet . It takes 3 to 5 days for that. Secondly you NEED to drink lots and LOTS of clear Water in addition. I drink about 1.5 to 2 litre a day just water besides the liquid Protein Shakes.< /p>

Today is day 1 of the preop. I just has my first shake. My worry is how will this work with me working in the field. I will be stopping on a regular to peepee (sorry y'all). I am nervous, but I know I can do this. We can do it.

I had my sleeve done on Tuesday. I lost 20 lbs. on the two week diet, before hand. Recovery isn't too bad. I only had nausea when they gave me the disgusting stuff to drink to check for leaks. I came home the next day. They had an onQ hooked up in my belly for pain. That was a new one on me. It helped the pain quite a bit for the incisions. I took it out last night and the pain is very tolerable. My big kicker is that they gave me nausea meds, that give you a headache and pain meds that you have to take with food and make you nauseous. duhhh. Needless to say no pain meds or nausea medication. I have had a whopping headache for the past 3 days. But I crushed up some Tylenol with Water and that has helped. So My stats so far are SW 277. Surgery weight 257 this morning 253. I was expecting it to be higher due to the swelling. So I am pleased. I'm hanging on to this bull and riding it for all it's worth.

Day 2 post op... still a lot of gas and a little nausea. Pain has subsided some but still uncomfortable when laying down or trying to get up out of chairs. On phase 2 full liquids but I been doing mostly clears and sipping on a Protein Shake throughout the day.

      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!
