Hi everyone, as i have said before i am 4 mths post op but still dont feel quite 'normal' yet. Does anybody else feel like this? I seem to always feel better in the afternoon but i never wake up and bounce out of bed anymore. All my blood work is normal so just hoping its my body adjusting to the new me!

Everyone is so different. We all have fears that something is going to happen to ruin our new goals and mind set. You will get stronger and stronger as time goes on. Maybe you might want to try to hire a trainer for a bit to get you going again. If all the Doctors are satisfied that you are okay. Maybe push the next step. It can be so exhilarating to exercise. I always feel very high after I do that.....

Me right now am on hold as well. i have a new issue with my sleeve and am just trying to get better myself. So I know the frustration that can happen when you are on this journey! :)

I am one of the very very few people who have had one complication after another....I have been in and out of the hospital continually since my surgery in 2012.

From a leak to a coma to 14 surgeries and then a category 5 bed sore...Five months of no food and now I have an abscess due to a pin hole leak. Now I have a drain in my side and they are trying to drain it. 6 weeks I have to keep the drain and I have a nurse that comes in every day to flush it out..Hurts like the dickens. but it is what it is...

I am thrilled with my progress and would not change my decision to have this done. I am a live where before I was just existing....I am so grateful for the sleeve. But I was a rare patient that had it all go wrong.....

I did not have a clue about any of what what going or could have happened from this choice....If you want more detail...PM me and I'll tell you want you need to know...no problem...I am sure people are tired of hearing my story by now...lolol

      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!
