Any advice from anyone is appreciated! I've been following everything I had to do for this surgery the past 7 months and I just received the phone call yesterday that I am APPROVED!!! I have one more week of college classes then a week of finals to get through before I move back home so the date is perfect for having enough time to prepare for surgery and recover in time to start work in June. I am sooooo excited for this surgery I have been just glowing with happiness the last two days. :D Advice would be apprieciated :) Thannkkksssss

Congrats! My advice, follow your pre-op diet. It's hard the first three days but once you get through it you'll feel a lot better. I was sleeved on Tuesday 4/10 at the age of 25 so I'm still freshly sleeved. So pre op is all I can offer lol that and have a good support system.

Congrats again :) see ya on the losers bench soon

I am so excited. I am having mine done in Mexico. I was a lite nervous at first, but now I have watched so many youtube videos and so many people have positive things to say.

Anyone have their surgery in mexico?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
