I am from CT & scheduled for a sleeve with Dr. McMillan this Thursday at St Raphael's. I had to do the ketosis & it was the worst. I lost 12lbs in 5 days. I am now on my 1000 calorie a day per-op diet. I am nervous, excited & anxious.

I did not have to do ketosis. I am a week away from surgery and doing a low cal diet. Sooo excited and yet nervous. I went for pre op tests today and my pulse was racing. Nurse kept asking if I was ok. God I hope I am not like that on surgery day.

Just wondering, if anyone is within 30 minutes or so, I would live to have s buddy to Celebrate our milestones. Maybe pedicure at 3 month or something like that. It would be nice to get together with someone that can relate

I fear that may have come out wrong I feel like I should explain. I LOVE Griffin hospital. That's the only downfall of getting the surgery done at Rays. I had attended his seminar at St. Vincent's and personally having a medical background I did not feel comfortable with the answers I was getting. I was referred to my doctor by several people that used him in the past. I didn't mean to sound nasty I hope I didn't come across that way. And hey we will hopefully be around the same time having surgery so we could go through together :)

      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!
