I'm so happy to see this thread. I've been seeing this doc and that doc - having this procedure and those tests - for several months and have been excited the entire time. Now I'm 15 days out and I

Oops! Who put the send button so close to my iPad keyboard?! LOL

Anyway, now I'm getting nervous and having a hard time sleeping. I know it's normal, so I'm letting it happen. This is NOT the time to second-guess myself. I'm so happy to hear all your stories. It's been motivational and calming. Thank you to all who've shared their experiences.

I am just a few hours away. Nervous, but not overly so. I plan on staying awake all night since I have to leave at 4 in the morning to arrive at the center at 5am (6am Eastern). I'll sleep when they anesthetize me...lol! All evening I have been thinking about a Sonic chicken sandwich on a Ciabatta bun...stoopid commercials!

I am so happy that this is finally about to take place. Good luck to everyone undergoing this procedure...may we wake up skinnier and healthier!!!!

It's totally normal. I went through it too. It will all be alright. Mine went off without a hitch and I had an easy recovery. You got this, calm down, breathe, and remember why you are doing this. A new you! Good luck!

Well I got sleeved yesterday. And other than the pain it isn't so bad. I just wasn't 'to prepared for it to hurt so much. But it is bearable.

Sometimes you have to do something you've never done before to get to where you want to be. It's definitely scary and I'm sure most of us are/were terrified at that last moment before the operation. Just remember why you are doing it and maintain your focus. You will wake up and your new life will begin. Something you've been wishing for for a long time is about to come true. Be proud of your journey and stay focused. Celebrate!!!! You'll be fine:)

Glad you came through OK!

When I was still quite groggy my family was present and one of them asked me how I was doing. I said in a drug stupor," Miserable! ...but happy!"

They still kid me about that.

      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!
