One week out from surgery and just started full liquids. Doing well so far. Surgery went very smoothly and I'm down 10lbs.

I hope everyone is feeling okay.

I had my Aug 4th as well. I get fevers at night. 99.5 - 100.8 was the highest. Does anyone experience this?

The next day after I came home from the hospital, I battled a temp like that... but it passed within a day or so. (I kept watch)

Hello everyone. I also was sleeved August 4th (@10:30am...to be specific...lol)

I am really excited about this new start and it is great to see how y'all are doing.

I am at 7 lbs lost post-op, still on full liquids, but days away from moving to puree (which I am counting down to)

I still cannot believe how good I feel.... but I am thankful. =)

      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!
