I've had 2 csections my latest being 17 months ago. This surgery is a piece of cake.. all my nurses kept commenting. "Wow ur doing really well" I was like this is nothing compared to a cesarean! !!

Right on! My last c section was 14 months ago but by the time surgery is here it will be 16 months. I'm glad it was so easy for you, im hoping it will be for me too since my cesareans werent a problem.

I had 2 csections. My last one was 7 weeks before being sleeved. To me, the sleeve was worse. My csections were no problem and people were shocked that I had just had a baby. But I had no complications. I just had to care for a 7 week old when I got home.

What made your sleeve worse for you?

Three c- sections - last one was January 2012, sleeved November 2012 - no problems at all. Sleeve is much easier than section - sore for around 4-6 days post sleeve, then good to go!

It was more painful to me. The gas pains were horrible, I had stitches which were a pain, and the drain was icky to me haha. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

For me both the c section and the sleeve were comparible pain wise. I had a pretty easy recovery with my c section and was out of bed the next morning. Same with the sleeve. I did however have terrible nausea with the sleeve.

I didn't have a drain or stitches - had glue. Glad I did and that may be the difference. I also had gas but it didn't really get built up because I was burping like crazy. Very ladylike and sexy :)

Oh I didn't have drains and i had staples.. gas was terrible but it was in my chest.. it passed rather quickly. But overall pain when waking up from recovery. I can honestly say not bad. I hate to say this but I only used the morphine to quickly fall asleep not for the pain.

      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!
