I am home after having sleeve on Wednesday, after being stuck in the bed all day I asked the nite RN to take off my machines for awhile and let me go walking, it made her laugh when I took off down the hallway across the hospital in my town and boxer briefs, also asked my DR. To let me come home yesterday since I was off all my machines and ready to start doing for myself, my wife has been a wonderful motherhennish type of girl, don't get me wrong the pain is there but a lot better than at the hospital, and I slept all nite here, I still have yet to experience the "buyer's remorse" maybe cause I psyched myself up too much, I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds for me, this is very exciting, and I can't wait to put everything I've learned into practice, to all potential future bariatric surgery peeps, the answer is YES! I would do it again in a second !!

Oooohh beware the buyer's remorse. Im not in for my op until august, and i am paying privately also , so i hope i dont get the buyer's remorse. Lol. I think im going to prepare myself for that by writing myself a letter, to myself before surgery explaining why i am doing this and how its going to change my life for the better. And on that day when or if it ever comes, i am doubting myself if i made the wrong descsion and have blown all that money for nothing. I will open my letter to remind me of why this is so important to me and motivate me to make the most out of this amazing opportunity to a happier and healthier me.

      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!
