Alright, Monday the 20th is the day scheduled for my surgery. Currently I've been on a liquid diet since the 30th of Oct. been the hardest thing I've ever done ! But thinking into the future I'm not sure I'm making the right decision. Has it been worth the struggles for you that have had the surgery?

@Paloomino78

struggles? what struggles? :lol:

YES, YES, YES for me it was

definitely worth it.!!

I had a very easy recovery

you might have some pain, gas,

other normal side effects right

after surgery.

but in the long run, for me, (and

many many/most OP) the WLS is

totally worth it!!:rolleyes:

when/if you read bad stories/posts

they stick out in your head - you don't

see the posts about how wonderful

things have gone.

as far as your cold feet? - put a pair

of socks on silly head:D

common phrase many people say,

"my only regret is not doing WLS sooner"

good luck on monday

speedy recovery

Yes, it has been worth every moment since my surgery date of July 26, 2017. I just wish I would have done it sooner. It's normal to get cold feet as this is a big lifestyle decision. You still have a few more days to research, talk to others who had the surger and most importantly pray that you will have no regrets. It will take a few adjustments afterwards, but it's durable. I love my sleeve. I've lost a total of 80lbs and feel great. No more knee pain. Diabetis and high blood pressure is gone. You will do fine I wish you all the bes in the new and excited journey. Keep us posted. We're here to support you.

      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.

        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!
