As you probably have already read in other topics all you're going through right now is absolutely normal! Most of us went from over excited to over worried... I definitely did, I couldn't really imagine my life without a part of my stomach or without overeating, but here I am happy with the decision I made and not regretting a single thing!

Are you following a diet right now?

What's your goal? How did you come to the decision to get the sleeve?

I wish you all the best for your surgery and these last weeks of preparation! I am sure you'll find the answers for most of your questions on this website.

I've been on an emotional rollercoaster for 1 1/2 weeks now. Everything hits me wrong, I lash out at people then cry because I feel horrible about hurting them. I've always been emotional and this is definitely an emotional experience and it just seems to exacerbate everything. Apparently it's normal, even though it's hell to go through. I would wish you luck, but maybe peace of mind would be a better wish? LOL

      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!
