Just got my Bypass and recovering. :)



Recommended Posts

Hello and I love this forum. I received my Bypass Jan 13th and I'm finally feeling a bit better and functional.

Obesity runs in my family and has been the silent killer of many loved ones. I didn't want to be another victim and after every diet fad, attempt and fighting a yoyo weight all my life, I made the final change!

I've never even heard of this procedure until my partner discussed with me the Gastric Sleeve. She too was in the same boat as I and we decided to do this together.

She's 6 weeks ahead of me but we have a great support system. :)

I've already been baffled in my recovery but with an outreach question the ladies here have been most helpful!

Thank you and Hello!

      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!
