I'm scheduled for November 17th at the University of Chicago Hospital. I'm unsure of what all I should pack.

I had surgery Nov 7 and went home the next day. The only things I brought was my phone, my Kindle, a toothbrush and toothpaste, hairbrush, lip balm, biotene spray and a change of underwear. I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital.

Good luck to all of you November sleevers.

Thank you

My post op appointment is on the 21st of November

My scale shows I am 5 lbs less than my surgery weight.. I am also excited to know how much lighter i will be one month out. Good luck on your liquid diet. Hang in there, it will all pay of as "easier recovery" later. (Hugs)

Hello Surgery sister. I am doing fantastic.. except for the "mental" hunger i have been experiencing. I know it is mental because i do not feel hungry physically. I am well nourished by following my post-op diet to the dot. I am teaching myself discipline right now :)

How are you feeling?

@@mbarrow01 Hi! I had my surgery on November 8th. How is your recovery going?

I'm doing very well I think. Getting my Water and my Protein in. My biggest problem is that I am a lazy person and I have a hard time making myself go out and walk like I am supposed to. But I'm trying.

How has your recovery been?

My surgery is set for November 29, 2016.

I am new to this site. I had my pre op meeting with my surgeon today. Getting a little nervous. Never had any kind of surgery before.

      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!
