I'm from Northern Ontario and had my sleeve surgery on June 12th at Toronto Western Hospital...it's been an exciting journey so far.

Thanks, I am one of the very fortunate people as I have felt amazing since I woke up from my surgery. Not a moment of nausea or vomiting and I was able to drink as soon as I was out of recovery. My gas pains were manageable but I personally found walking and gas-x strips to wok like a charm. Because I went through the Ontario Bariatric Network, all my follow-ups are in Sudbury,ON which is only 1 hour away from where I live. I am down about 25lbs over the last 4 weeks and dealing well with the diet. What an amazing ride so far,. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Good Luck this week!!

Hi:

I reside in Sudbury. I had a lapband put it in 2006 and then removed in 2014. Went to the Orientation session held yesterday at the old Memorial site. I would like the Sleeve but not sure what they will give me.

Just looking for thoughts and and experiences about the sleeve and how you are doing. Any input would be appreciated.

Thx

      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!
