Good luck!! I had my sleeve done this past Thursday and I feel really good. The gas has been the worse part. And it's not terrible. Be sure to get up and take small walks. I actually feel so good I'm going to go to work for a few hours tomorrow. :-).

Best wishes! Walking was a breeze for me with my morphine drip. I missed it when I got home but walking truly helps with a lot of what ails us shortly after surgery.

Best of luck to you for a pain free recovery. I was sleeved July 31st and am back at the same hospital today for my wife's VSG surgery.

I had absolutely zero pain or nausea and have dropped 28 lbs in 25 days. Wishing the same for you!

Surgery went just fine. Was in the hospital for two nights. Came home this morning.

Experienced some nausea the day after surgery. I'm on full liquids right now and am glad to be eating Greek yogurt or sugar free pudding.

Pain hasn't been too bad. They had me on Dilaudid. I had my last dose yesterday and haven't needed anything for pain since. The worst pain I'm having right now is in the form of a headache.

I still have some gas blocked in my abdomen from surgery, and I wish it would just get out.

I've also started crushing and taking meds. Most are tolerable, except for Metformin. THERE IS NO WAY I am trying this again crushed. It was so nasty!!!!

What experiences have you all had with trying to take your Metformin after surgery.

      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!
