There is I'm just upset. I have been paying so hard.

Well, Dr. Garcia did my mom and my sisters sleeve and he did an awesome job! I think the Mexico route is a great option to look into :)

Still working towards the date of the 30th. Last week I did my stress, met with Dr Hooper, (surgeon) now the final touches! A preop diet class tomorrow , insurance approval. Then hopefully the 30th! I am so ready to start this journey. I have the support of my family, and the friends I have shared this with. I have chosen not to tell my coworkers at this time. One showed me a picture of her sister who had some type of gastric surgery and said let me show you a picture of her now! Didn't feel the live...lol.

Anyway we'll wishes to all on this LIFE changing journey.

Is anyone scheduled for Friday? I would really love to have someone to walk with during this journey. I have struggled through preop diet. I do want this, but I have truly had a hard time with my eating.

Talk to your Dr. I hear and am told by many that they didn't really follow pre op due to medical or simply cheating with bad food up until 3 days before surgery! But def talk to your Dr. 10 is still enough time to get better! Hope you get through this ASAP! Keep us posted :-)

Hey everyone just trying to get all the September Sleevers together! I have my surgery September 30th. So when I wake up on the first of a new month I'll be a new person in the making :) let's all support and help one another!!

Hello, I just found this site. it is going to be great to hear from other people what they are going through with me. My surgery is scheduled for September 22, 2014. YEP in 6 days..... I am on the pre-op Protein Drinks and Clear Liquids also and my surgeon said I can have 1/2 cup of non-startchy vegetables a day. I usually have cukes and look forward to them cause I am so hungry!! today when I left a store, I just stood in the parking lot and breathed in the air cause someone was cooking steak or something and it smelled SOOOO GOOD..... LOL keep in touch, good luck!! Its a new journey never taken before, but will be better one day at a time..... :) Judy

      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!
