Been to Vegas about 10 times in the last four years........

But.....

Sleeve in a week and I'm really wondering if I'll have any fun at all this time because I'll only be 6-8 weeks post sleeve. I really just felt like saying this outloud to someone....LOL....so thanks....lol...

you could be fine lots of people are hitting it hard by 6 weeks, but and there is always a but, Be prepared just in case your one of those that needs the extra time to recover from the surgery. depending on your food plan you could be on the start of solids by then so just be careful to always carry a water bottle with you. dehydration at that point is very real and a vegas hospital stay would not be any fun (no slots in the rooms or cafeteria) and make for terrible instagram shots.

have fun and be careful

As long as the fun there doesn't center around buffets, you'll probably be fine! Sitting at a slot machine, for example, isn't terribly physically strenuous . . . just don't jump up and down too much if you hit a jackpot!

Sounds like you're the likely designated driver! If you do drink be extremely careful. I've been told that one drink can put you over .08 since the alcohol doesn't get processed in your stomach at all, instead the raw alcohol hits the intestine and goes straight into your bloodstream.

We typically stay in the same general area of the strip....all walking and close proximity to our rooms.....I'm probably over thinking it. I just wont be able to help kill the bottle at the end of the night. I will have to concentrate in making sure I'm getting Water, I'm horrible at that on any kind of trip.

Guy trip.... Gambling...drinking... gambling...clubbing....#PowerNaps...lol...

We're going at the last weekend of July...so I'll have a solid 7 weeks after a two week recovery (now that I think about it) to get back in the weight room... The more I think on it the better I'm thinking it'll turn out...we love The Daylight pool party at Mandalay Bay....always live in the Summer....

Hate to be a party-pooper, but check with the surgeon about how long before weight-lifting. I had a 10 pound limit for a month.

OMG! Viva Las Vegas! I've had some incredibly fun times there. I last went in February of 2015 when I took the Luxor for almost 2K at the black jack table. I reckon I need to go back there at some point.

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
