Sleeved on 3/23/10 @ St. Elizabeth in Gonzales, LA, by the awesome Dr. Hargroder. Spent the night in the hospital and discharged the next day. YAY!!! Today started the clear liquid diet, got New Whey Liquid Protein 42g in 3oz @ GNC and mixed 2 vials with some fruit punch-flavored crystal light. Tolerating it pretty well, sipping Water in between. Walked 15 mins, need to do it 4 times and try for 2 miles daily, per surgeon's recommendation. Only some discomfort on incision sites but getting better every day!

Congratulations!!! I talked with a doc in OK day before yesterday and he said that your doc and his partner were the best and most experienced in the state, that he was aware of. Sounds like you were in good hands!!! I've actually thought about contacting them myself if nothing happens with insurance with the doc I've chosen in Shreveport. Do you know if your docs down there will fight for you with the insurance companies?

Take care of yourself! It's so great to hear you newly sleeved peeps doing so well right after!! God Bless!

      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!
