Yes, this is totally normal... I've been through lap band surgery before, a removal, and now this... I have felt both scared AND excited, each time. Here's to your sleeve! :(

YES! I'm the 25th too. So far I'm just excited and haven't been scared yet, although visualizing the last few moments with my husband and son before they wheel me off to surgery causes some anxiety. I expect to get very little sleep the night before and to be very anxious the morning of... looking forward already to getting the happy drugs they put in the IV early on. :laugh0:

TOTALLY! I'm scheduled for the 27th so we'll be on the same track. Best of luck!

I am the 25th too! I am feeling very excited and the only thing I am nervous about is the post diet. I am positive that I will feel some anxiety that morning, but I fully intend to ask for some relaxing medicine beforehand!

I was sleeved on Jan. 14th and yes you are SO right. There are so many emotions that will go through you until you get on the operating table but it will be worth it!!

Hang in there girl. We're all rootin' for ya.

I'm on the 25th too. I am so excited but terrified at the same time myself so I know exactly where you are coming from. I never thought this day would come.

      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!
