We're all biased toward the surgery we've had, but I have been very happy with the sleeve.

You should continue this conversation with your doctor. Only he/she knows your history and is making that recommendation for a reason. Tell your doctor your concerns, people on the internet that have never met you cannot tell you which surgery to have. Good luck whatever you decide.

I love my sleeve...wouldn't change a thing. Only need to lose 60 lbs going in..had my surgery 10/30 and so far I've lost 34 lbs. It's a transition but I have a friend with a band and she has more problems with certain foods than me. Certain things really hurt her, as for me I can't eat a lot of anything but nothing really hurts. Love my sleeve and I'm loving watching my shape come back...slowly...this way my skin isn't so flabby.

      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!
