Hey all! I am 6 days out from surgery. Thought I knew all I needed to about getting sleeved and the effects after surgery, boy was I wrong :D Nothing bad just MAN! Glad to have found this site and especially this board. It's nice to get help from/talk with people but awesome to find other guys who have had the surgery.

Welcome. I too found this site less than 2 weeks before surgery and all of the posts/memebers were very helpful, friendly and informative. Now I was not calling my surgeons office four times a day with "little" pop up questions. Do not lurk - search through the many venues here. There is a great thread for what you will need right after surgery. http://www.verticals...surgery-thread/ I was much happier after using heating pad and drinking slighly warm liquids rather than cold liquids. G2 gatorade helped me stay hydrated when liquid was an issue. Never needed to use any pain meds...and I was an outpatient for this surgery.

Hugs to you and good luck!

      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!
