Soon to have the sleeve



Recommended Posts

Thanks for posting that picture. It's adorable. i am so glad you were all there at the same time. That's so great!

You'll feel better really soon. I guess I don't know how lucky I was that I could drink a lot of liquid without pain right from the beginning. I wonder why that is.

I have no idea, I have heard that for most people it is easy. I still can't drink really anything, my tummy cramps right up. I am pretty much living on popcycles right now, I have one every few hours. It is the only thing my tummy wont cramp on, but it is starting to worry me a bit. This is day 5 and I would think by now I could handle other things. I am gonna wait another day and see if it improves and then call Renee again if it has not.

I loved that picture, even though we were all pretty drugged up in it! All the girls agreed I could put it up, we thought it was fun, it was great having them there.

As for pain progress, the only place I still hurt is where the bag was, none of the other incisions hurt at all. However where the bag was is still pretty painful, but hey its only been 5 days and I am a wimp! I am staying with my mom right now so she can deal with the kids while I rest, so that helps! I have great family support!

Update you all soon!

They tell me my recovery was so easy because I have been doing crunches every day for the last 5 years. I get the muscles are strong or something.

I am excited to get back to the gym I miss working out. I am grumpy when I don't get my gym time.

So guess what guys....my sister just set a date for surgery with Dr. Aceves in July!!!! I am so excited for her! (Hopefully she won't mind me posting this) It looks like I will be going back down there with her also, so I will get to visit everyone at the hospital again!

Is she "pampered" like you? :) Think Dr. Aceves can handle it?

(Sorry, just couldn't resist - hope you don't mind)

That's great! Tell her congrats! Is she posting here?

She has to start her own thread on the "Tell Your Story" section. ;o)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
