I guess I'll be leaving this group. Dr called yesterday and moved my surgery from June 7th to May 28th. Excited and scared.

Lucky you! :)

My first post ever, been reading for weeks, but finally ready to post! My date and friends date is June 7 in Mexico. Today is first day of preop diet. 3 Protein Shakes a day with light dinner. 3 days out only liquid. So So nervous, can relate to all of you, but so so excited to start the rest of my life healthier. I think that's what keeps me from bolting for sure. Anyone else being sleeved in Mexico in June?

I had my EGD yesterday ... it went well other than a fat lip... doc said my inside is beautiful and it should be a basic sleeve..I told him it is time to match the outside with the inside ! ;)

Congrats!! My surgeon told me after my egd that I have "a really large stomach" I laughed and said "I know that is why I am having the surgery" he laughed too....he meant the inside of the stomach was huge and explains why my stomach growls all the time! Good luck!!

My doc said it was because I still have my gallbladder. He wants to make sure it's fine before the surgery. If it's making stones then it will be taken out as well.

      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!
