Last day at work until 4 weeks post op :)



Recommended Posts

Today is my last day at work until after surgery. My sleeve is on Monday morning :) I am so excited. I've made it to day 5 of my preop diet, and have not cheated even once. I'm already down 10 lbs!! I am so excited to finally be having my surgery, and am so looking forward to my new life!! I work as a nurse in an OB/gyn office, and will be out for four weeks, returning on August 25th. I really hope recovery goes well, and I'll get to enjoy some of this time off like vacation, lol!

Awsome, I know the feeling all too well... I was sleeved on Monday May 5th so a Friday like this one back on May 2nd was my last Friday too... enjoy the time off, heal well, you'll feel pretty good 4 days out, and great almost like your old self 7 days out. Make sure you walk walk walk -- it's the only thing that really helps the gas and bloating discomfort. You'll be sooo happy after it's done. I have not had one complication, I'm almost 3 months out, 45 lbs down and feel TERRIFIC!! Enjoying the new me, down 3 dress sizes and lotsss of energy... love love love it! Good luck, keep us posted.

      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!
