I had a lot of difficulties with my sleeve surgery ....and so when I came home I needed a nurse and still do every day......I spent 5 months in the hospital and am now 3months home........so eight months out of the first surgery....

Saturday a nurse came that had seen me the first week I got home and then saw me again this Saturday...she did not recognize me at all...

She made me tell her my full name and my birthday.....I thanked her for being so kind and she replied....I am not being kind...I'm serious I do not know you....

Today my regular nurse came and she told me that the other nurse marked in the log that she did not know it was me...See she said I am not the only one that has noticed the huge changes in you....

Then she told me that she was very proud of me....I am their first patient that they have ever seen who has had the sleeve...They knew nothing about it until I needed their help..

It made me feel so good that I have come this far.......Good girl Jane...I am proud of myself....LOL

Wait! What?! Please tell us why you were in the hospital 5 months and why you need a home care nurse for 3 months?

I am proud of you too, Jane!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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!

        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.
