Kb88 thanks for the advice but i dont need to postpone. Ivebeen in this process for 9 months now and i couldnt be anymore excited!!. I guess just in the back of my mind i worry like everyone else. It is major surgery and a major life change but im in it for the long haul!thanks.. Like 33 hours or so till surgery!! Im elated

. I almost backed out, I think it is natural to second guess, but this journey started over a year ago for me. We should be scared, this is Major surgery. I'm doing everything exactly as instructed. No deviations, no experimenting. Good Luck!

Very cool :). Just reading "cold feet" is what prompted my response.

I wss fine with the band. All these heparin shots are terrifying me. (Wimp) I am dreading leaving my baby, but I have to get it done before he starts crawling, which is like weeks away. I am looking forward to a thin me!

Don't worry about the shots. I was poked twice a day. Request it in your stomach while the nurse spread your skin and it will hurt much less!

Yay good luck to today's sleevers! Update as soon as you're up to it!

Had my two week follow up with my surgeon today. He was super happy with my weight loss (20 lbs in 13 days) and my incisions look good. I get to start puréed on Thursday. Had some blood work done too. I have him a big hug because I knew that was probably the last time I'll see him and I am just sooo thankful for such an amazing surgeon. Probably not something he's used to but hey I have no shame.

Had my procedure yesterday, the pain wasn't too bad afterwards I only ask for pain meds right after surgery once which was at 7 a/m. It was a long day for me because of nausea, it did ease later that night, all of the tests look good and the Dr said I can go home today. Trying to get in my Water now sip sip all day. Good luck everyone my journey has begun.

Good for you! I promise each day gets better! Rest, sip, walk, rest! The first 48 hours were my worst.

      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!
