Well, my name is Vickie and I had the Bariatric Sleeve on 9/8/14. Everything went well and 17 days later, I feel like a new person. The small meals are unbelievable, but everything is tasty. It's like I never tasted food before. I have lost 22 lbs. Or more. I love my doctor and her staff. I don't know what to expect, but I'm looking forward to my new goal weight of 170 lbs. if not more. <3. :)

Thanks for the update from September. May I ask how much you have lost thus far? I lost 19 pounds in the 12 day liquid pre-op and total since surgery on September 2 have lost another 29 pound for a total of 48 pounds. I can't do the Protein Drinks so now on mushy food until 8 weeks out so. I am only getting around 320 calories but now up to about 39g Protein. I think loss is good but worries about the protein and calorie intake.

Yay, Alfie. I'm so excited for you. It's much easier than I thought. But you have to take care of yourself, stay hydrated and eat 3 meals & Snacks. Good Luck.

Thank you Vicky. My appointment for evaluations is tomorrow; very excited. Glad you're doing so good!!

TY Alfie. I thought of cancelling minutely and just sort of let the Universe guide. I just can't believe how good I'm doing. But, you suddenly realize you just had surgery 3.5 weeks ago and need to take it easy. I can honestly tell you that it's the best decision you ever made. My clothes used to be so tight. Now, they r comfortable and loose. Keep me posted as we have connected and I want to know how you're doing. Nice to meet you. The most important thing is that you eat enough Protein. Never ever thought about it before. You will be Enlightened by this experience.

      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!
