Hey all! It's really cool to find that there is a forum for gay men and women on here! I would love to hear more from all but especially from gay men around my age... I came out very late in life and didn't start dating until 10 years after I came out... Weight has always played a big part in my esteem and dating life... You can also find me on My Fitness Pal at sjmusicalman103....

I was sleeved on Sept 11th... Yesterday was my 14th day! I started at 300 lbs and lost 11 pre-op and then 7 after week 1. I'm expecting it will slow down a lot... I had my surgery by Dr. Salcone at Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden, NJ... He has been AMAZING!!!

Congrats on your surgery and progress man! I'm from NJ as well (piscataway)

You will find the changes in weight have a huge impact on your self-esteem and the attention you get from my experience. Like the others have said, stick with your Protein and fluids, and rely on your fellow sleevers for support....its a great community!

      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!
