Dear FRIENDS.... I have my alarm set for Monday, August 4th at 3:15 AM EST! I have to wash with Hibiclens and leave by 4AM to be at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio by 5:30AM! My surgery is at 7:30AM EST and I will officially be sleeved. I am so blessed and excited to be part of this community and want to say THANK YOU to all of you for your posts. I have spend many nights reading your posts and being inspired by your journey.

QUESTION: What is your BEST advise for me while I am in the hospital????

congrats and good luck! my best advice is to try to stay relaxed. i know that's easier said than done, i was panicking a few days before, but it all worked out so well that i would do it again in a heartbeat! (i was sleeved 6/25)

i'm sure you will do great! just take it day by day and once you're home, remember to sip plenty of water/liquids and walk!

keep us posted!

      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!
