It really wasn't as bad as I expected. I really had no pain from my incisions or anything. The only problem was with the gas. Just make sure you walk, walk, walk. This will help pass the gas quicker. Also if you can get some of the GasX strips, these really helped.

I dont regret having this done at all. I had my surgery 2 months ago today and still have times where I am surprised that I did it!

Hope your experience is a good one!

Good luck to all of you. May you all have a smooth recovery. I too have done my share of going back and forth on going through with this. Once I get my official surgery date I think I'll feel better (right?). :huh: I just try not to spend to much time in my head. I know that I need to do this.

Good luck!! Mine is scheduled for noon on Friday. Went through the whole pre-admin review on the phone this past Friday. Get to do all the pre-op stuff from home (anti-nasea patch, colon cleanse) on Thurs. Been on a liquid diet since 11/2....SO ready to be on the other side of it so I can start healing and move forward.

Good Luck!! I got sleeved exactly last Monday! Gosh I still get excited thinking about it. The first day wasn't bad considering you have a "knockout button" you push whenever you feel the slightest pain or discomfort. The second and third day for me we difficult. Nothing unbearable just mostly discomfort. Realizing I had a catheter in me was SO ANNOYING!! But now im home and today I went walking the longest (food- or shall I say liquid- shopping) You will do great and as advised before, make sure you WALK, WALK, WALK!!! It'll pay off because im still getting rid of some of the gasses. : ) Give us an update!!

      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!
