My surgery was ruff I had complications. My suggestion to you is to walk as much as possible even if it hurts. Always remember why you're doing this even when down. There will be times when you're wondering wth have I done! Do not get discouraged! The dangers of long term obesity is much worse than any gastric complications. Take a good look at your old body because your life is about to change 100%. Congratulations on a huge step towards health!

I had no complications. The only thing that was hard was drinking the Protein drinks. Ewwww but I did it. I still have lots of work but I'm on my way

I live in Gilbert, AZ. Had my sleeve done 6/25/15 by Dr. Fang with the Bridges Center (St. Luke's). Down 24 lbs since surgery and just over 40 since the start of my 2 week preop diet. No complications (so far). I was quite nervous as this was the first time I had surgery in my life, but was very satisfied with my Dr. and the hospital care.

      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.

        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!
