I just wanted to thank everyone that has ever posted anything on this forum.

In the past months, I have read them ALL and they have encouraged me and supported me very much with my decision.

Today I am on my 2nd day post op –my op was March 24—and I feel well.

Nausea, sleepy, stomach so tight went by as expected because you all shared your experiences so when I experienced it, I did not worry as much.

THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING… I cant wait to pay it forward and share my experience too. But right now I am very sleepy.

I just couldn’t not register and post this for everyone.

Dea.

We are so happy for you! The sleeve really is a great thing. I am so thankful for this forum too. I remember being so scared of the sleeve at first, but now I see it as one of the best decisions of my life. I hope you heal quickly and lose lots of weight! :)

      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!
