January 4th is my date! I love the idea if starting off a new year with this surgery to boost me into a brand new me! I will be 40 in a couple of years and I want to be in great shape by then. Also love the thought of having a few people to compare stories with as we recover and lose.

Jan 17 2013 here in Puerto Vallarta MX by Dr. Lopez. So excited So anxious. Wish I were leaving today. So ready to start the New Year!!!! I think that is the first time I have felt that way in a long time!!!! I turn 40 in 2013 and plan on being HAPPY_HEALTHY_and_TERRIFIC in 2013. That is my New Years resolution. I think the sleeve will help with the healthy part. And I think the other will fall into place as some other changes are made in my life this year. Can't wait!!!! I am from Mississippi but am moving to Austin TX the week prior to surgery. Good luck sleever's on the up coming journey. Keep in touch!!! Can't wait to hear everyone's stories and experiences. Hopefully we can help each other through the process.

      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!
