My surgeon said I don't have to do it as my BMI is under 35 but I remember it from being banded. Boredom was my biggest issue so a variety of flavours is helpful.

I will.. Good luck in your prep and successful surgery. Hopefully we can get some tips that are helpful in this phase.

My BMI is 29 and my revision surgery is on the 25th, but I still have to do the liquid diet. My surgeon said this had nothing to do with my current weight or BMI, but instead is to ensure my liver is as healthy as possible and not enlarged for the surgery as this gives the best outcome. I'm in Sydney Australia, so maybe we do things differently down here?

I kind of wondered about that as when I had it done in 2009 I also didn't have to do it for the same reason but I had a really difficult recovery with a lot of liver inflammation after my surgery. I am actually thinking about doing it for a week anyways just so that I can shrink the liver down and hopefully have an easier recovery than I did last time.

Hi everyone! I made it to the loser's bench!!! All went well. I did wake up in lots of pain. Nurse gave me morphine and I started feeling better. I did have some nausea but it cleared. No gas pain yet (I'm knocking on wood it stays that way!).

Good luck to all the May 2nd sleevers!

      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!
