Hi all! Well my name is veronica and I am a recent poster. My last post was pure ranting about the hospital where I am having my surgery. It was not my best post and it was negative. I thought I would start over by introducing myself and letting you all know that I am not a negative person, just extremely scared of this surgery. Why am I explaining myself? Because I really need support from people who are going through this. I don't know any one who has had wsl and when I do tell people they tell me that I don't need this even though I do. I can relate to a lot of you and I feel like I need this community!

So with that said! I am being sleeved on june 18. Wish me strength people!! :-)

Hi Veronica! I never saw your first post so you have a clean slate as far as I'm concerned!! Welcome! I am also a June sleever - mine is the 14th! Just a few days before you. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on here once I get home from the hospital so I can fill you in. If I'm really lucky I'll be able to talk with everybody FROM the hospital - but we'll see . . .

Good luck to you & keep on posting - dontcha just LOVE this site??

      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!
