Bad: I am 10 days out and my darn pain got worse on my left side. doc says it is normal until the stitch in your abdomen dissolves. I wish it would freaking dissolve already bc the pain even with pain meds is unbearable the last couple of days.

Good: 5 pounds lost in 10 days. I had lost 7 but I think I am retaining Water bc I didn't get enough in yesterday so I gained 2 pounds. Already skipped a size from before my preop diet :) went from 3x to 1x tops.

Everything else so far I expected. Just wishing the pain would go away. I know it will pass though and looking forward to living my life lighter lol

Good luck on your journey!

Did your left side stitch ever dissolve? One week out tomorrow and mine is just getting worse. I control it with a heating pad but as soon as i remove it and try to move arond ....BAM!

Also, it sounds like you had a great first week. What did you eat (drink)? I take full swallows with. No problems.

I agree the worst part is eating one too many bites and sliming, throwing up from a chewable Vitamin (Bariatric advantage) or throwing up because your GI tract is not ready for a certain food like beef. That being said, getting sleeved is the best thing that has happened for both my physical and mental health. I have not been more happy and at peace with life. Good luck!

      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.

      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!
