Hi all. I'm having surgery on 7/10 as well and just started the Pre-op diet 2 days ago. I'm getting the sleeve. I'm a little nervous about the process but looking forward to continuing my good health.

Me too!

I’m getting surgery the 8th.

The dr is planning on doing a sleeve but when they insert the scope for the endoscopy if my esophagus has gotten worse from my gerd he will preform the bypass. I won’t know until I wake up which surgery I got.

Oh! That’s an interesting situation! I guess either way is good!

July 11th here.
This is a revision. I had sleeve done in 2014 and immediately knew it wouldn’t be a long term solve. I eat very little anyway and needed something that was more malabsorptive.
We are doing Duodenal Switch. 🎊🥳
Current weight is 241. I start full liquid on 7/9 but currently on high Protein, low fat regimen.
Excited to actually start this journey with a procedure I felt like I should’ve had done the first time. 🫶🏻

      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!
