I am getting my sleeve on 3/29/2017. I just had my labs done yesterday. My PCP is recommending me to get an ultrasound although my bariatric surgeon didn't require it. Everything went well otherwise. I have a little bit of a sinus infection so working on that now. Anyone in the VA area getting sleeved soon?

Not quit like myself but no real pain either, just trapped gas & absolutely no appetite, can't even get half a Protein Shake down, I've been nipping on crushed ice and drinking sips of Water and making sure i walk around.

Just sleeved yesterday, Richmond va

Congrats. Hope you're having a good morning. I am not far from Richmond. Let me know if you need anything, even if it's just a mailed care package. I am just trying to get my house ready and get my shopping done for the post-op.

Yay! That's exciting. What part of VA are you moving to?

      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!
