So I was sleeved Oct 8 and everything's been good didn't need a drain seriously no pain what so ever my Tylenol is still full all three bottles day of surgery I was 297 before when I first began I was 315 now I'm 277.8. So happy that I've made this choice for myself. And I no longer depend on my cane to walk short distances only have issues walking far distances.

@@LMolina1987 I was just thinking today about how happy I am that I had the surgery. It wasn't nearly as painful as I expected and recovery has been better than expected as well. I am 5 weeks post op and so happy with my weight loss so far.

I didn't tell hardly anyone because I didn't want the naysayers voices in my head before, during and after surgery because it was my choice and I had done the research and asked the questions to lead me to this place in my life with decision to have WLS so their uninformed feedback was not desirable for me.

Great job! It must feel so liberating not relying on your cane for short distance walking. Imagine what it'll be like when you don't need it at all??

I also have multiple sclerosis, I'm in a wheelchair starting my weight loss journey this month. Hope to have surgery by Summer's end.

      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!
