My sleeve day is tomorrow at 1:30! I was originally scheduled for the 19th and got a call as I was leaving for the hospital saying my doctor was ill.

Got the call! I show up at 6am for an 8am procedure. This doesn't even feel real!

I know the feeling! I kept telling my mom that it's not legit happening until I wake up in the recovery room.

I'm done! Resting now. I was the first of many for the day so I haven't spoken to my surgeon yet, but Ite did learn something new: apparently my body doesn't react to dilaudid (sp?) at ALL. I was in excruciating pain in recovery for what felt like hours. Turns out, morphine, a less strong drug, worked waaaay better for me. Bizarre. Nap time. I'll catch up soon.

Blooming lotus, that is crazy! I'm glad they found one that worked for you.

My surgery went well, no problems! Yay!!! Afterwards very little pain, just a lot of nausea. Getting ready for a good nap myself:)

I'm staying at the hospital one more day. I was supposed to be leave today at 11 but because I've had such nausea I haven't been able to walk and drink as much as they want me to.

Im starting to feel pretty decent but I'm glad I didn't leave as planned - I wouldn't have felt comfortable!

How is everyone else doing?

      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!
