Happy Thanksgiving everyone!



Recommended Posts

I am thankful for my sleeve, thankful for my great surgeon Amir Moazzez, grateful for my wonderful NP Kim Hohendal, grateful for my supportive friends, family, boss, colleagues and especially my sister who literally was holding my hand when I woke up from surgery. I am also grateful for all of the wonderful warnings advice and acceptance that I have found here from @@Babbs @@Elode @VSGAnn @@LipstickLady @@proudgrammy and all the countless other wonderful and insightful posters on these boards. All in all I am grateful for my new life, the chance to start over in mid life, and the wisdom to make the best decision I have ever made for myself. Of course I am also grateful that I am over three months out so that I can enjoy some turkey today but for those of you who can't because you're still on liquids, please know that you will be able to enjoy MANY more Thanksgivings in your life now that you have the sleeve, that you have the compassion, love, and acceptance of everyone in these boards, and that you've GOT THIS. You made it through the sleeve surgery and you can make it through Thanksgiving. It is a small price to pay for a lifetime of health, and you have our full support! ????

      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!
