I just had my sleeve operation on 11/11/13. The prep diet for 2 weeks was tough but doable because I new it was something I had to do to have the surgery. Surgery day was tough, not so much the pain - they took care of that whenever I asked, just sore, tired and weak. Every day has been better and today I almost feel normal. Good luck to you in the next month or so. It goes by fast. Just keep in mind how much we wanted this. Robyn

Hi Missyt. I am pretty new myself and hoping for a February Date. I am tentatively scheduled for Feb 11th but I still have a lot of things to get done to meet the insurance requirements so I guess it will happen when it happens. I am currently on the supervised weight loss required by the Insurance company. This is a long slow process and though some people think it passes quickly... I feel like I'm on the slow roll. Good luck with everything and hope to see you around the boards.

I don't have a date yet just tentatively set for January so it could be the 1st to the 30th! EDG or EGD set for December 18th not required for insurance but dr requires it to make sure the other 20% of my stomach is good!

      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!
