Yep, I'm gong on my own (I was supposed to have my mom with me, but my dad got sick this weekend). Guess that's why I'm a bit nervous.

I had my surgery this afternoon (didn't think about how excruciating the wait would be when you don't go first!! Lol). In talking with Dr. Aceves.tonight, he said that I had a large amount of scar tissue on my stomach from my former lap band (got it in 2004, had it removed in 2008 because it was ruining my life). He said I made him work really hard during my surgery, because he released all the scar tissue, then removed it before actually making my sleeve. He said that not all surgeons take the time to do that. I am so overjoyed in choosing Dr. Aceves. I am hanging in there - the first day is the worst. Thank you so much for ALL the wonderful wishes of luck and positive thoughts that have been coming my way :D

Congrats! And don't forget to have fun while you're there! Ask your ordinator to take you shopping, sightseeing and maybe to the beach if you're up to it. We had a blast down there

      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!
