I'm sitting at Mi Doctor Hospital waiting for my turn and listening to music on the laptop. I'm last to go in of the 4 of us here today. Leprechaun is first! The hospital is clean and the staff are super nice. I met with our surgeon Dr. Lopez and he was ready for questions but I told him Leprechaunmomma already had that covered and I'd get the answers from her, hee hee. Last night the broth and popsicles were like a buffet with soothing tea after. I don't feel deprived or very hungry at all. The popsicles were pureed cantaloup melon frozen on a stick , heaven to my tastebuds! I'm missing my family but loving this trip. Yesterday we sat by the fountain out front of the hotel and watched traffic. The breeze was light and cool and the sun felt great. I really want a palm tree but customs won't let me :( Good luck and best wishes on a speedy recovery to all of us going in today. I'll check back in after surgery.

I'm scheduled tomorrow with Dr. Yu in Houston, Texas. For some reason I show up on some lists and not on others. Anyway, good luck to everyone being sleeved tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the big day! Here's an update on where I am so far. I did the pre-op liquid diet for 3 weeks and lost 18 pounds. I admit it that I cheated by usually eating some Protein at night....the pre-op diet is SOOOO HARD!!! I went from 195 pounds to 177. I'm really hoping my new smaller tummy will make the post op diet a little easier! =) I want to get down to at least 140 pounds, but would love it if I could get down to 125-135 range. We'll see how well my new tool helps with that!

Not nervous at all, but I know I'm never going to be able to sleep tonight. Best wished to everyone that is having surgery tomorrow. Good Luck!

Good luck, everyone! I was sleeved August 21st. I had terrible gas pain in my shoulder the first day. After that, whenever it starts, I know to just get up and walk. So even if you feel achy, WALK!! It really does help!!

I still have pain on my left side where all the work was done, but each day it's a little better. What suprised me is that it really hurts to bend down, and to get up off the toilet. Those are my big 'ow's'.

Let us know how you all are doing!

Happy Tuesday everyone. I was sleeved yesterday by Dr. Alvarez. Was in surgery before 9. Have had no pain and shockingly no gas pains.... Yet. I did a little walking yesterday but it was so warm in the halls that it made me a little light headed. I have been sleeping a lot but I am fine with that. The staff here is so wonderful. Very attentive. I will be up and moving soon :). How are the rest of the Monday sleevers doing?

      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!
