My surgery is coming up on November 10th! I am excited and cannot wait. Good luck!

Hi I know I'm pretty early to ask ,but is there anyone getting sleeved in November?

I'm traveling 7th Nov having surgery at the OOC with Dr Ortiz and then traveling back the 14th as he wants you to stay until the drain is out.

Hoping there are some others out there.

I'm scheduled with Dr. Alvarez on November 26th and couldn't be more excited. I wish my work schedule would allow me to move it up a couple of weeks. Anyone else going to be there over Thanksgiving?

My appointment is Nov. 25th with doctor Aceves. I am very happy.

Just thought I'd check in ...

My surgery was last week and I'm just now starting to feel 1/2 normal. My pain is diminishing a little more every day but the exhaustion is just debilitating. In my whole life, I have never taken naps; however, I've been napping a lot in the last seven days. I have had considerable nausea postop but the doc called in some Zofran & a Scopolamine patch for me and I'm feeling better. I do have a drain that I have to have taken out tomorrow so I'll be able to see the MD for a few moments.

In my first week of postop life, I've lost the 12 lbs I gained during hospitalization plus 3 more. So happy to be on the loser's bench with the rest of you!

Best wishes to the other Novembers!

LowCHO, I am so sorry to hear that. I am the same day and I am feeling pretty good. We seem to have the same stats and I am wondering, why did you have a drain?

Good to be a loser, ey

Maybe you can send a quick note to an admin or so?

      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.
