Well I'm off to try to get some sleep. Just took my emend. Have to get up at 0330 to be at the hospital by 0530. I hope I don't finally fall asleep at 3 or some ungodly hour. My stomach is a wreck (I think it knows!). Good luck to all my fellow sleevers tomorrow, I look forward to catching up with you all on the other side!!!!!

I was just sleeved yesterday morning at 7:15am & on Sunday evening I drank a bottle of magnesium citrate. My doctor DID NOT tell me to, but I wanted to "cleaned out" it didnt kick in for 3 hours. Then it was just watery. Probably because the last two days I just had Protein drinks.

I could not sleep the two niggts before at all either. But for me, I've been one of the "lucky" ones. No major issues! I did have an reaction with my i.v. though. My arm swelled up in the needle spot the size of a tennis ball! I guess the vain was real small and it didn't get in The right spot. I did have gas pains, but only hurt when I TRIED to drink!!! My tummy is sore but that's been a cake walk for me! I have walked several times around the nurses station and that has helped a lot!!! One other thing I 've not heard on here is that it's hard to pee. I haven't drank but one&a half oz. Of beef broth and did it to fast & got sick. So the only oth fluids I've had jave beem through the I. V. I finally voided about an hour ago! I have NOT HAD BUYERS REMORSE yet. Praise God!!! On my 2 week pre-op diet that was low carbs , I lost a total of 13lbs!!!! Hope this helps calm your nerves. I will pray for you and the rest of the JUNE SLEEVERS!!! Stay blessed!

      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!
