Big day coming up(or should I call it the "getting little" day?)-March 28th! I'd love to find some late March sleever friends so we can compare notes post op. I'm getting excited now but still feel like I have sooo many questions and so many things to do before going in. Please friend me if you are having your surgery late March and let's get together for a Protein Shake if you live in the Dallas area=-)

I'm over in alabama---but I'm having my surgery on the 22nd and am promising to update my blog frequently during recovery so please feel free to go check it out and maybe get some insight or tips that I may come across while I'm recovering!

Good luck! :)

Hello all! I just joined and am having my surgery 3/27. I am VERY excited and have not been nervous once. I feel like I should, esp when people ask over and over "are you nervous?".

I am so glad I found this website-its great to have others to relate to. I also have a wonderful family and supportive friends (& even some negative nellies :tongue2: ). I hope everyone else does too-its so important. thx for listening

Fitbottomdgirl, New Chapter and Mews TODAY is the first day to a newer you. You are all in my prayer for a successfull surgery and recovery. See you all on the loser bench. 13 days and counting when I will be there with you. Keep us post on your progress.

Thanks Mrs. Riene for your support and prayers! I can't wait to hear of your progress after your surgery! Keeping your seat warm on the loser's bench. To all the March sleevers to come, my experience has been a bit tough and I still look like the Nutty Professor (lol), but I am blessed to be recovering at home smoothly. I've already lost 9lbs from pre-op weight and can't say that the complications outweigh the results. Best of luck to all of you! If you ever want to chat, just message me!

Good Morning Lighteningbug and BuBsmama,

You guys surgery date is just a few days prior to mine. I glad to see you all are feel good. I am just a bit anixous but not scared. It just I have been going through this process for sometime and now it is getting to the very end. Yesterday, I did all of the pre-op testing, today I saw my surgeon and everything is set. Tomorrow I start my pre-diet and then in a few short days the BIG DAY!!!

I just want to let all of you know I am praying for each one for a safe and speedy recovery. See you all on the Loser Bench very soon and don't forget to return and share your experience.

In addition, since next week I and others will be journeying to the Loser Bench.

To all of my friends who will be sleeved the week and the day I share with you, I will be praying for each one of you. My hope is that I will be able to send out messages to each one of you prior and after my surgery but I am not sure. So if I fail, please know you are in my prayers. Once I return I will be sure to let you all know about my experience and those who are journeying the same with me, please do not forget to do the same.

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
