Hon;

When I want to whine about my minor complaints, I think of how much you have endured. Your path is different but our goal remains the same.

Consider yourself hugged. Prayers for your speedy recovery and that you face little troubles here on out.

Thank you all for your well wishes. I am doing better the last few days. It has been a real roller coaster. First they said nothing by mouth, then they wanted me to have some meds by mouth. I was so nauseated all the time I am now back on nothing by mouth. Feeling much better not being nauseated. I actually have woken up the last two days hungry! I hope that is a good sign! I will be going to the Dr. once a week now. I'm very anxious to go on Tues. Today is one week post op of the leak repair. I hope he gives me good news like I can have liquids and get rid of the feeding tube & drain!!!! Please continue to pray for me! Thank you all sooo much for your encouraging words!!!

I think many of us forget that 1% chance of a leak and just how difficult the road back is when you have one.

I have 4 friends with the sleeve. 4 of us are fine, but 1 had a leak. She has had 3 surgeries in the last 3 weeks and at one point was fighting for her life. Makes me feel a little guilty that I've done so well. But, it also makes me grateful for my health and how this surgery has given me back my life.

I wish you the best of health and a quick recovery. Keep us updated on your progress.

Thank you for updating us KBB. Feeling hungry is definitley a positive sign. My mom has dealt with many medical complications in the past and hunger is something her dr always monitored. He claims being hungry is an indication of progress and healing. We will continue praying for you. Keep up the good spirit.

I hope that you continue to feel better and are able to move on to liquids soon. I am sure this must be very hard for you.

I know tiffy always says it was very hard but very worth it. Best wishes on continued progress and please keep us updated!

      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!
