I am so nervous thinking about my surgery. My date is Dec 17 in the late afternoon. Although I had the lapband, I am now doing the sleeve. I can remember the pain I was in. I soo hungry now. Only cause I know I am restricted from it. Tomorrow starts my clear liquid, and on Tuesday it's going be crucial, nothing to eat or drink and my surgery is scheduled for 3:45 in the pm hoy boy, just want right to be waking up in recovery.

No, just struggling with which surgery I was going to do..I was going todo the lap band, but I'm looking at the sleeve! What was wrong with your lap band?

Good luck........ I was sleeved on 11/20 and I thought it was going to be painful but honestly it wasn't, well at least to me it wasn't... Felt like a period... The only issue first couple of days was the gas pains...... I was burping every chance I could get.......

Divadee the lapband was fine at first lost 60 pounds and that was it. The standstill was crucial as well as the vomiting. I eventually gained it all back because I got tired of getting fills. I think it complicated my life more than help, especially not eating and your still gaining, because you can only eat the wrong thing. I had no problem keeping junk food down, and that's what I turned to. Go for the sleeve.

      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.

      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!
