And the countdown begins!!!! I'm only 2 days away from surgery. I am so beyond ready for the next steps and what's to come. I know it's not without a price of pain and hard work but I'm in this with my game face on. I feel like I'm starting a new life. I've made some awesome friends on this site and been inspired by countless individuals. I can't wait to have a story of my own to share. I'm down 6 pounds and feeling like I can conquer the world!

So exciting! My surgery is tomorrow. I'm a little nervous as I'm having it in Mexico but I've heard good things about doc. I'm siting at airport now getting ready to board my final flight. I have all my pre-op testing this afternoon. Good luck to you and I will see you on the "sleeved side" :)

How are you doing post-op? I feel better than I expected! For as nervous as I was it was a GREAT experience. I highly recommend my surgeon and the facility in Mexico to anyone else who is paying cash like me! Top notch facility and staff!

My pre-op started Thursday; surgery on the 4/15. Pre-op diet has been difficult for me. I used to drink a lot of soda so the caffeine headaches are a killer :(

I get my sleeve 4/11 (tijuana)... caffeine headaches are getting to me as well!. Yesterday was the most difficult day on the pre op diet for me. I wanted everything and anything I saw or smelled! Today is much better, not really feeling too hungry... been snacking on sugar free popcicles at work :)

I'm feeling so much better today. The first two days post op were horrendous pain. I was very pleased with the wonderful treatment I received from the staff at the hospital. I never wanted for anything. After I was able to pass gas and go #2 I felt so much better. The ride home in my hubby's Tahoe was the worst. I say find the smoothest ride you can get. Other than that just poop and toot as much as possible so you can feel better quicker. Lmbo.

      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!
