Two weeks to go



Recommended Posts

I'm down to the last two weeks of waiting. I'm pretty nervous but I am confident that I am making the right decision. (that's still not helping my nerves though lol). Does any one have any suggestions for me on what I should bring or what I should make sure that I have at home when I get back. I also wanted to thank everyone for their posts on this site, the information that I have gathered as well as the words of encouragement that I have received are appreciated. I can't wait for the new year and the new me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, i can't really answer your questions i've not been sleeved myself yet but just wanted to say i know how you feel. One minute i'm excited and the next as nervous as hell.

I keep writing lists of things i'm going to take with me that grows daily and i probably won't use any of it but i like to be prepared! I have one tub of Protein Powder for when i come home and Jello and will see how it goes.

I was very off/on with it before my surgery too. Looking back I should have been 100% for it! Chin up!

Get a heating pad, broths, Jello, and sugar free pop-cycles before you go - cover your basics at least. cool.gif

      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!
