YES!!! I am SO happy for you. You and I started talking right before I had my sleeve done and I am super excited that you were able to have your surgery. Good luck girl, you've certainly waited long enough and totally deserve it! :)

Welcome to the Losers Bench! Now the real fun begins. One word of advise... take pictures, and pictures, and more pictures of yourself along this journey. Even if you never show them to anyone, you'll be so happy you did so you can see the changes for yourself.

Congratulations!

My op was 12 hours ago. I lost 18lbs in the two weeks prior.

My Surgeon just came and checked in on me now.

He said "Mate, it went totally awesome this morning. Thanks for doing the preop diet. I couldn't have hoped for it to be better."

He also said "You should feel in less pain than an hour ago etc etc. just remember it only gets better from herein out. See you tomorrow for a more in depth review."

So I guess it's worked out so far and I can't believe how much pain the shoulder was in from gas this afternoon. But like he told me. It's mostly gone now and it's just the liquid diet and pro turn for 14 days and a graduation to food from there.

Can't wait for the next step.

      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!
