My surgery is at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Does anyone have any last minute advice or suggestions for the night before? I am in rather a fog...calm, anticipating, and having a hard time believing it's finally here. Is that odd? I've been overweight for so long, I am filled with hope that I will finally get this under control. I am quite ready and totally at peace and happy with this decision.

Anxiety is normal. Be positive, deep breathe and think of the goal. You don't need much for the hospital, deodorant, brush, toothbrush, underwear. I packed way to much and didn't use any of it. I stayed one night, used hospital gown and slippers. Went home in the same clothes I came in. When you get home a heating pad on your stomach is very comforting . best wishes. After a couple of days its really very manageable☺.

If you are not freaking out a little, you didn't pay attention to the material. It was really dang easy on the back end to me, but everyone is a little different. I hope your journey was a great as mine and I wish you much success.

Don't forget your CPAP if you use one! Best of luck!

Best of luck to you! I love your title "sleeve eve"...very catchy, I may have to use that when I go, on Christmas Eve Eve (12/23).

Walk as much as you can when you get to your room... it's awful the pain I mean and the only way to get it out is walking

      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!
