I'm finally home. Got out August 05. I had problems swallowing and my creatin levels went waaaay down. I've been home for 24 hours and my legs are swelling. So now I'm calling the doctor.

Gotta say, once a couple of issues were addressed:

  1. removing the drain tube
  2. turning the air conditioner off [i have Fibromyalgia]
  3. Figuring out how to take my crushable meds despite the taste.

The pain is bearable. I have severe Fibromyalgia so I live with excruciating pain every day.

I had a really rough week. I'm finally beginning to feel better. I had a lot of chest pain, pressure and shortness of breath. This was mostly due to the unexpected hernia repair. Today I finally felt strong enough to get out. I walked the aisles at Target just to get some exercise. It's just too hot outside to go walking. Glad to hear my "sleeve sisters" are doing well. Let's all just stay in touch.

My hubby and I are August 1st sleevers. I'm down 21 from pre op and hubby is down almost 40!

Mushy foods start tomorrow but we've already had a scrambled egg and over cooked noodles.

Amazed that I can eat such a small amount and be full!!

      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!
