Sleeved today March 18



Recommended Posts

I'm not in pain, just really sore on my left side. I quit taking pain meds yesterday bc I can't stand the taste of liquid lortab!!! I've gotten all my Protein in last 2 days but can only get in about 32-36 oz of fluids.

CONGRATS! Just be careful hanging out on the interwebs - you're more affected by those surgery drugs than you may realize - I sent complete nonsense to my boss at work when I tried to let her know all went well :)

Ditto. I felt just fine, but my sister reported that our FaceTime conversation about 4 hours postop was pretty entertaining!

Not sure if anyone can answer a couple questions. I had my sleeve 3/17. Came home 3/18. Still have lots of gas and pain on the side. Has anyone had any of these issues, can't poop, sleep and hard to breathe when laying down?

Need to keep using your breathing thingy they give you at the hospital to keep your lungs operating well. And walk walk walk. Every hour or two. It will get the gas out that they put in during surgery.

Don't mean to be graphic, but the only "movements" I've had have been of the liquid kind - I guess liquid in, liquid out is what I should expect.

      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!
