I have a surgery date!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!! I have been 'lurking' around this site for the last few weeks trying to get as much information as possible on the sleeve. I was going back and forth between the band or the sleeve but with all of your helpful information, along with support from my doc, I chose the sleeve. Saw my doc this morning and have a surgery date for July 28. WHOOOO HOOOO!!! I am so excited that I don't think there is room for nerves. Not really sure how I am going to make it until the 28th but I am sure that I'll make it just fine.:001_smile: I am, however, a little worried about getting the eating thing right, as far as the right clear and full liqiuids, etc. Either way I am just so stinkin' excited!! My husband will have his sleeve done on Aug 4. This will be an awesome journey!!!

Welcome to the site - I felt like someone was "watching" me -- LOL ... I had my sleeve surgery on June 12th and my fiance (beardeditalian) had his on July 11th. It will be a nice journey for you and your DH to take together - we feel as though it has drawn us closer to one another.

Hey Jill, welcome to our forums, glad to have you here! Congratulations on deciding to get the sleeve. I think it is great that you and your dh will be going through this together. It makes for a great support team, as I am sure Bearded and Vegas can testify to.

      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!
