Surgery went really well but pretty sore



Recommended Posts

Hey my fellow sleevers and friends. My surgery went extremely well according to my expectations. My surgeon said he removed 49 inches of stomach from me. Said it was size of a football before surgery and after it was the size of a large banana. Very please with how procedure went. Said I could easily get down to 245-250. I'm 397 post surgery. That would be awesome

I'll post pics later

Heck yes.

Not only did you beat my Bulldogs, but you've had a great sleeve experience.

You are on a role.

I'm shooting for that same 245-250 range, too.

Thank you all. I thought I would lose some weight from what he took out but actually gained 6.7 pound due to all the gas he blew in me and from being swollen

      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!
