Would you mind sharing your experience with VSG? What has been some of the problems or complications that have occurred to make you decide to have gastric bypass? Did you experience less restriction over time?

Hi! Sure I'll share my experience with u. I got sleeved 2/16/2013 in mexico my dr is wonderful!!! Never had any problem thank god!! At 6 months I stop losing weight. I lost a total of 60-65pds. But gradually gained 15 back. I'm allergic to fruits vegetables and any kind of nuts!! So that didn't help any but if the veggies are cooked I'll be ok. But regardless I would eat healthy and exercise 5 days out of the week I just couldn't lose anymore!! Plus I eat healthy but I notice I can eat more now. It's gotten very frustrating. I'm glad I've lost 50 so far but I still need 70-80 more to go. I only wish I would've just done the GB instead.

But don't let my story discourage u. There's many that do great with the sleeve. :).

      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.

      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!
