I was sleeved on Sept 7 I had the boot things but no drop for meds or no drains I had one cut which was in side of my belly button and It doesn't even hurt anymore:) slept on my tummy last night without any discomfort. I know everyone is different and different surgeons use different methods so everyones story and experiences may not apply to you unless your using the same Dr.

Good point, I guess my pics don't apply to everyone.

Glad you're recovering so well :thumbup1:

New pic @ 5 days post op. The bruising has surfaced, but the drain hole looks a lot less gross than I expected :thumbup1:

Wow you did bruise a bit but those are healing nicely. I was allergic to every type of tape and band aid I tried so I had big red itchy areas of skin around mine. Stopped wearing bandages two weeks ago and finally fading.

hows ure post op diet going Twostep?

Hey Deets,

Not too bad. I was cleared for puree from day 2, so I've not had the liquid diet some of you guys have been talking about. I've been keeping it runny though, so creamed Soups, yoghurt, warmed up baby food with some stock added to make it more runny, mushed up weetabix with plenty of milk, that kinda thing.

:scared0:

Hi TwoStepsBack,

I'm happy to hear you are well.

I was sleeved the same day as you with Dr.Aceves.

Funny how we have different Drs. but I noticed on your pics that we have the same exact bruise. I also have a bruise the same size to the right and a little below my belly button where there is no incision.

That's funny. Wonder what that's from? Just curious.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!
