Everyone has second, third, or even hundredth thoughts--that just shows that you're taking the process seriously. If you went skipping merrily off to the pre-op exam room, I'd be worried. ;)

You're making a wonderful choice for your body and your future. Change can be nervewracking, but the results are going to make it all worthwhile. You'll do great; and you have plenty of people here pulling for you!

I'm scheduled to be at the hospital at 730am tomorrow. Not sure if my surgery is 1st or 5th on the list for my surgeon so we might be getting sleeved at the same time by different surgeons. I'm not nervous about the surgery but instead a little anxious and a little worried---anxious to get it over with and worried about the recovery and learning to eat again but this too shall pass. Then we are on our way to thinner! Adding you as a friend...keep in touch and let me know how you are doing and I'll do the same!

Yes, the surgery is not why I'm nervous... It's the recovery (I hate vomiting) learning to eat and drink differently. The first week is what I'm mostly scared about. I hear the first 3 days are the worst.

I had the sleeve on Thursday, and I have not vomited 1 time. I have a bit of an upset stomach but the nurse gave me a pepsid pill, which I was scared to death to try and swollow, it went down fine, no problem. I really wasn't that bad, but today we normally go out to eat on Sunday after church, and I am really missing that!!

You will be fine, it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. good luck!!

I have to be at the hospital at 7:15 in the morning!! I'm sooo nervous about the surgery itself! I've only been in the hospital once and it was having my daughter. I'm not worried about learning to eat afterward.... Actually looking forward to that. Prayers for everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!

      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!
