Hi,

Looking to find some people have surgery around the same date as me! Hoping we can go through this process together and talk about our experience along the way!

Awesome! I'm glad there will be a group of us going through similar things around the same time! I'm 30 and from Nebraska! Anyone near by?

I'm in Ontario Canada. I'm 50. I start my preop diet tomorrow - I get sleeved June 30 by Dr. Pompa in Mexico.

I'd be happy to share my personal e-mail if everyone would like to start a support group.

@@mrbobb, I hope all is well and you're enjoying your day. How did your 3 hour pre op class go? You said you had a lot of questions, anything you can share with us? Thanks.

The pre op class was very good. The nutritionist was awesome. She basically went through all the things we'll be able to eat and how to prepare them up until our 3 week post op appointment. The servings sizes look like a thimble full of food. That scares me a little bit because it's like will I feel weak or sick etc. she assured me as long as I follow the plan nausea should be minimal. I'll see how that goes. I'm ready to take on the new way of life. I'm starting to plan now so I won't be freaking out the day I come home.

      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!
