Sleeved today! Nov 17



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved today, November 17. So far so good!!! I thought the pain would be much worse than it is. I had my gallbladder out 5 weeks ago, and that was much more painful. I only really have pain getting up and down out of bed or a chair. And even that is minimal.

Right now I'm just very tired which is probably from the anesthesia. I haven't been nauseous at all. I'm just very thirsty right now and I'm only allowed 4 oz of ice chips every 8 hours. I have my leak test tomorrow and I'm hoping for it to be successful.

I hope the rest of my healing time is just as easy.

Great! Don't get nervous if you start to feel like poo over the next few days. You will probably hover on dehydration and the lack of calories will start to get to you a bit, but it seems that many people, myself included, start to feel normal at the three week mark.

Welcome to the loser side!! You are going to feel amazing!!

      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!
