Hey ladies! I'm 24 from Long Island and I'm getting my surgery on December 10, I'm glad I found this thread because a lot of people I see on here are older, which is fine but I feel like we can relate better.

I'm 24, but were all going through the same thing so age aint nothing but a number. Good luck on your sleeve.

Thank you. I'm starting my 2nd day of pre op and I hope all the days of pre op go as well as yesterday. Still haven't found a Protein drink that actually taste good though.

Hey Liz! good luck! i just got sleeved on 12/12 - the pre-op diet, although boring and bland, didnt seem to bother me as long as you stay busy! not i'm fighting through the mushy food phase of the post-op diet. best of luck to you in the following weeks :D

SO happy I found this forum!

My name is Melissa and I am 25 years old. I was sleeved on July 19, 2012... making me just over 5 months out. Progress is good thus far- down just over 100 pounds and I have officially reached onederland :)

Am looking for friends to talk to along the way since none of my friends know I had the surgery. Feel free to add me!

      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.
