Well, I'm scheduled for my sleeve at 7:15 this am. I'm excited and so very nervous. Not about the sleeve, just surgery in general; for some reason I just get very morbid any time I have to go under. It's irrational, I know probably 25 people who've had a wls and none have had any surgical complications. Ahh well, it'll be fine. Just took my "before" pics....I never feel as big as I look in pics, sometimes I forget I'm as big as I am, lol.

So, is there anyone else getting sleeved today?

Good luck!

I'm just pulling up to the hospital myself.

I think just because it's actual surgery is the fact that people (myself included) get nervous or a little worried.

God willing all will go smoothly and may we all have speedy recovers and transitions into our new lives

Not getting surgery till 8/25. But I am like you in the respect that I don't feel as big as I am. I wonder if most people with overweight people feel that way.

      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!
