I had a sleeve nearly 3 months ago.

I am very happy with it.

Had a complication. My heart went into A -Fib.

Taking mads for it now. I have cardio aversion scheduled next month. I hope it works.

If it does not. I will have exchanged a high probability of heart attack for a low probably of a stroke.

A good deal in my mind.

No surgery or procedure is with out risks. You have to weigh the risks/ rewards.

Good luck.

I hope you get some good news. But it sounds like even if you don't you're already looking on the bright side.

To me, your point I swell taken....that of all the risks of WLS, the risks of staying obese are much higher.

Thank you all for your input and for making this post so informative. It definately is something that everyone needs to think about before they commit to surgery. If we feel she is crazy or not it had everyone thinking in one way or another. That is the great thing about debating or peacefully disagreeing. :D

      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!
