Yay! That's my birthday! They offered me a June 29 surgery date, but I had a last hurrah vacation planned.

Me too! If Honestly if I could do it without ruining a friendship, I'd skip the birthday cruise and take the 6/29 date in a heartbeat. Have you been told anything about the pre-op diet?

Sure! I recommend always following your own surgeon's instructions, but it certainly can't hurt to get more information from other sources and ask questions. I'll have to dig up my information sheets from my surgery, but I did do a YouTube video on my post op diet when I was 3 days post op that I'll post a link to. If you want more detailed information than that, let me know and I'll find my post op paperwork.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I'm in Atlanta and know a few people who speak highly of Dr. Malick. I had my surgery in Mexico.

that's great! I know two people who were sleeved by Dr. Macik, nobody has had anything bad to say yet. I recently reconnected with a friend who actually was sleeved in Mexico a month ago so it's really nice to have someone local whose surgery is so close to mine.

      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!
