Hi all,

In a newbie and 6 days till surgery. I am having SIPS with Dr NG. I am really getting scared. Would very much like to talk to another SIPS patient. I have talked to DS and Rouen Y but unknown this is a bit different. Would like to hear tips to make it through, and really a bit of encouragement . I keep looking at all the weight loss YouTube's and the skin and hair loss is freaking me a bit. I am 215 and project to be 135. If you can message me with anyone willing to talk I would appreciate!!!

Hi i am almost 3 months post op with sips. Surgeon was Dr Roslin at lenox hill NY. Had a lapband removed during surgery which made my surgery a little longer. Surgery weight was 282 and today im 232. So 50 pounds lost. Surgery was tough but so so worth it.

Had a lot of gas pain and nauseou. Had some stomach pain but nothing too crazy. Was the best thing that ive ever done. Feel free to pm for more info or questions.

Get with someone in dr ng office. We have the Facebook page. Talk to krista if you are not on it. Dr Sharp is my doctor surgery is Nov 30. From the dates on here i am sure you have already had your surgery. Our group is the best. I bet if you post on our page all your questions you will meet someone that has had sips. I am having DS with Dr Sharp.

Hi Mojo56,

I am considering the SIPS or DS surgery. I have read a lot of posts here about foul bowel movement and gas. I see that you were also struggling with this issue. How is it now? Has this gotten any better? Do you have to be super restrictive to keep it from happening?

      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!
