Started pre-op today, my bmi is 42 so they told me to do a 10 day preop. I am already dying.....this is HARD!!

Only being able to have a shake for Breakfast and lunch is harder than I thought.

it got easier for me after first couple of days, just tried to keep really busy and drink Water.< /p>

Who all is having surgery next week? I leave Sunday for surgery Monday and have been having anxiety attacks. I'm getting nervous, can't wait for the surgery to be over and to be back home. I know it'll be worth it in the end it's just the day prior to surgery and surgery day that make me the most nervous! What's everyone doing (or have done) to remain calm in those final days?

I leave Tues for surgery Wed. Im a wreck! My bf was too busy doing laundry to come help me do yard work & get my house ready, my other male friend was too hungover to help me & my gf keeps making jokes that hit me wrong & when I asked her to stop or tone them down because I'm extremely sensitive right now she got upset told me to not take it that way. So my support system is non-existent now. I feel like I'm in this alone..mom never even considered going with me. I guess if anything, I got God & you all! Hugs to those needing it right now!

The VST Mexi-Sleevers are here for you! Don't let others get you down. You have no control over their actions/reactions. Focus on what you can control... And what you are finally able to take control of with this journey! Best of luck and a safe surgery!!

Most of my friends and family are neutral but some feel it is their duty to inform me of their opinions. We are all here for you, girl.. Don't let them get you down.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
