I'm scheduled for surgery on June 16! Pre-op class on June 1 so I'll start the diet the.

First post here, my wife and I are getting sleeved together. We both started the process in January and we've fortunately been able to attend all our the appointments together. We both received our insurance authorization last week following a 3 month supervised diet, and today we were both scheduled. We requested dates a month apart since we have a 3 yr old daughter to take care of. My wife wants to go first so her date is 5/30 and mine is 6/27. It's official now so I figure its a good time to formally join the forum!

I am June 1 and scared. I start the two week liver shrinkage diet soon and am afraid of it! What if I hate it and is it close to the sleeve permanent diet after surgery??

My original date was 5/19 so I started the 14 day pre-op on 5/2, they called me on 5/5 said I had to loose 20lbs before surgery to have it at the surgical center, that being the case they decided to move be back to June 2nd! Disappointed, but staying strong! Going to be on the pre-op for 30 days instead of 14 :( Good luck everyone!

      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!
