Nyone else feel like they are obsessed with this surgery, web site, and anything in between when they're on the two week pre op diet? I'm constantly online looking up research and reading everyone's posts on here. Today is day three of my two week liquid only diet.

It will get much worse before it gets better..As you go and get the surgery you will find that there are so many other issues that come up, so many uncertainties that you will be asking ?'s left and right...

You will also realize that no matter how prepared you are there will be a lot of unknowns for you. Also there will be things you think and say and feel that you never thought possible.

You will get nervous and anxious and happy and sad and every emotion known to mankind....

This forum will help you along with the issues that your head causes and will cause you....There is someone on here that has felt what you feel, done what you've done and found her/his way past it...You are not alone here....

So keep up the research and the forum....it will really help you along the way...K

I was the exact same way...couldn't get enough information!

Today makes 7 mos. post-op...95 lbs. down and lovin' life!

I guess I was fortunate...zero issues/complications. I was fanatical about following doc's orders, however still visited this site daily for post-op info/advice.

Before you know it, the surgery will be behind you and you'll be having the time of your life!

Good luck!

Wow you've really done well! Congrats! I'm just worried also cause I have the lap band and having a revision next Friday. I had a good amount of success with the band till it slipped and I don't want to fail with the sleeve. They say revisions don't loose as much weight as virgin sleevers. So I'm praying it will work for me.

      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!
