I have my surgery on Monday too. Waiting for a call later today telling me when to arrive. I'm so nervous that they're going to say this was a joke and you're not getting it done. Can't wait for the call hoping it's good news.

Listen, I know all too well how it feels to lay down on that SMALL table and have your arms strapped down. With 4 c-sections under my belt, it was not easy for me. With all the lights and people, I hope I do not throw up, lol. At least they can give me something to calm my nerves before hand. I totally made a fool of myself with my last c-section,lol.

I have to be at the hospital 8 am on Tuesday and plan to be there early. Our time is coming and soon we will be on the loser's bench guys. I was thinking about it last night. All the excitement and anxiety will be over soon, then what? lol.

How are the August post ops doing? I have to play catch up with the posts this weekend because I have been very busy with homeschooling three children.

We can do this Keisha and Doc_Law, We can do this!

I think I am more concerned about how my liver shrink diet went pre-op, lol.

Yes! If the surgeon tells me I can't have the surgery I'm going to be crushed. 2.5 hrs and i will find out what he says! Did you get your call?

Band revision to sleeve on the 19 th. I'm very tired but the pain is very minimal. I'm on oxygen that has more to with living at altitude.

As far as going under, my preop nurse gave me something to take the edge off and the next thing I remember it was 6:30 and my family was in my room.

Hey guys, just an update... I had my sleeve done on august 20th. Yesterday was pretty rough since I can't tolerate the liquid pain meds. So they sent me home with just Tylenol. Hopefully the soreness will start to get better in the next couple of days! I feel pretty good considering, just have to remember to keep sipping.

Don't know wen I am full but I keep sipping all the time. My drain is out and I am home. To all who have been sleeved and will be sleeved hang in there. Don't give up I almost did glad I stuck with it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
