Recommended Posts

Hi all just a quick intro of myself. My name is carol and I'm 42 years of age. Had my sleeve done 5 days ago and am feeling ok so far. I have 3 children 15, 13 and 9 and a loving husband. I live on 3 acres with some cattle, sheep, birds and a dog. The house is always full of kids and happiness. I'm looking forward to myself feeling more happy and energetic as the time goes on. Sorry I can go on a bit I love talking. Thanks and look forward to continuing my weightloss journey with you all. ????

@@carolx Welcome!! Sounds like you've got a good support system there on the farm. Best of luck to you! Let us know how it's going. I know I sort of live vicariously though others who have had the surgery, as mine is coming up Thursday morning. I'm not nervous yet, but trying to organize my life and prepare for recovery at home. I'll spend one night and come home the next day. I'm pretty lucky that the bariatric hospital is only about 10 minutes from my house!! Keep in touch!

Hi carolx...welcome! Get ready to amaze yourself! Sounds like you have a lot of things and people to tend to. Just a suggestion, don't try to do to much to soon. I am also a mama of a young son. You know as a mom we don't get a lot of down time and we use our super strength arms to carry bags of groceries at a time plus a kid...while talking on our cell phone while balancing something else on our head...lol. Give yourself time to heal. Remember the incisions are just points of entry all of the handiwork is on the inside. Don't want to increase your risk of infection or inflammation by not taking the time to heal properly. Can't wait to hear from you again! ????

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
