All right people, this is it. My husband and I go in today. I slept surprisingly well last night and feel ready to face this. More worried about my husband being okay than about me, but that's for no good reason except that I love him dearly :)

I'm going into this feeling very good, except for a niggling doubt that this too, may not work for me. I've tried everything. I haven't even lost anything for the last 8-10 days on a liquid diet of 800 calories, so part of me thinks, I will be that freak of nature for whom this wont work. Again, probably illogical but that's my fear.

So asking my fellow sleeves for your thoughts and prayers for us, for a successful surgery, and a positive outcome afterwards.

Also want to thank everyone who has posted and educated me. I have learned so much from all of you, and feel grateful for all of you who have shared openly so that the rest of us can go into this journey better prepared than we would have been without you.

Thank you all! We just met Dr. Alvarez and he was very charming :) The hospital is really nice. They gave us the big room so we could be together which was a nice gesture. Ready to have this done.

      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!
