December Sleevers??



Recommended Posts

I have a date of Dec. 18th. Excited but very nervous. Can't believe I'm going to do this- yet I've tried so many other things over the past several years. Worried about telling my family members (sisters, etc). because I think they won't want me to do it.

Does anyone know if you can take your regular medications the night you are in the hospital? I take daily preventative meds for Migraines.

When you go for medical clearance the doctor should tell you if you can take it. They told me I can take my cymbalta, Wellbutrin, and Prilosec

From what I was told, your regular meds will resume the following morning after your leak test is done. I am unable to take any of my routine meds. o.o. You may want to confirm that with your doctor.

I'm having my surgery on the 13, which is also my birthday. I met my surgeon at the beginning of Sept and we scheduled my surgery that same day I have to do a 4 week Pre op diet and it's so hard. I'm getting nervous now.

I am scheduled for Dec. 6th. I'll start my 1200 calorie diet on Wednesday. No big Thanksgiving or Christmas feast this year! I wish it were sooner. I'm ready to quit THINKING it to death & actually DO it!!

      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!
