Hello,

Got the call and insurance company has approved my surgery.

I will for sure be getting sleeved one week from today.

Now I am scared out of my mind.

Well, its very normal to be a bit freaked out when that call comes ... it makes it a reality that this can truly happen. But focus on the enormous health benefits this surgery will yield and how much better you will feel with less weight. That is what got me through the 2 weeks pre op, the night before op, and now 3-days post op. It is a challenging and at times scary journey but I believe will be well worth it in the end. Read some of the success stores on this Board. That was able sustain me as well. Good luck to you!

I had to do a three week liver shrink diet.
I am two weeks in and one more week to go.
I am excited, scared, nervous, and all that.
I just want to feel good again.

Im 3 days out too. Not too concerned about my weight at the moment but at the fact that I need to heal properly. The only thing I struggled with is the pain. Had to be re-admitted yesterday and was advised after cat scan all is well then released with a stronger med than Tylenol!!! Also trying to find a system to get all of the liquids and Vitamins in daily!

      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!
