Recommended Posts

I can't believe I started this process December 2015. I went to my first seminar in Jan. and started seeing my surgeon in Feb. Finally after all the appointments I got a date in June for July 20 but had to reschedule for financial reasons I wanted to make sure our family will be ok. So here we are September losers bench coach put me in. I'm ready. Happy that I don't have an all clear diet two weeks before just two Meal Replacements and a small dinner. Then two days prior it's Clear liquids and shakes.

My surgery is 9/13 ????! ! I am wondering why some people are on a liquid diet and my doctor had not mentioned it. I see him on 9/7 so maybe he will have me start after that. I did not realize that so many doctors follow different guidelines when it comes to gastric surgery.

Good luck to everyone!

I was sleeved on 21st

I had a severe reaction to anesthesia. This is not common so no one else should really worry.

I did walk some the first night but I kept getting worse & dizzy

Dry heaves for 30 hours but dos the upper GI test & no leaks - great surgeon!

By day 5 I felt so much better & no nausea at all.

I think I'm getting all my Protein at this point.

Everyone's path is different & as sick as I was I wouldn't go back. This is going to be a great! I'm prepared to stay on track but honestly do look forward to having oatmeal in a few weeks

I'm doing good. 14days post op. I'm having pain to right side-incision. Wondering if anybody else having burning pain? Getting my fluids and Protein in without problem and preparing for the next phase-purée.

Hope everyone is doing great.

      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!
