Recommended Posts

Surgery went Great- Thank God!

It was yesterday, Nov 12th at 2:15pm and lasted approx 2 hrs.

Yesterday was very tuff on me... I was in a lot of pain and felt nauseous. I slept a lot and walked in the evening. Yesterday I could not have food or Water...

But today they are giving me ice chips... Water and a little serving of Protein Shake. My serving sizes are smaller than a shot glass - 1 every 15 mins.

My pain is much better today... and I have walked a few times. Warm plastic heating bags have been given to me to place on my tummy and a cold one for the back of my neck- And they help!

I was told that if I tolerate my fluids well I will be discharged this p.m.

Thanks Again... Good luck to all!!!

Congrats & Good Luck...

it's a great choice. In fact the nurse that attended me was sleeved 2 years ago and said it was the best choice out there... she went from 310 to 185 :) Sooooo inspiring!

I was sleeved on the 12th and released today also! Not a whole lot of pain...mostly just soreness in the left side of my abdomen. Also have a lot of crazy noises going on in my tummy! Lol

I've been able to tolerate a Protein Shake and some Soup so far today. Water isn't a problem thank goodness.

Glad you're doing well!

      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!
