Hi, want to leave a quick note here. I have been reading the forum for sometime but finally joining in. I am just about 13 hours away from my sleeve surgery! I'm so excited but my poor 11year old is so scared. Brings me to tears that she has to worry so much.

I felt the same way 8 days ago, I was convinced I would not survive, hug you kid and assure her you will be ok, both of you get into that God(mahoma, buda,Adoni) will be looking over you, and visualize you getting out of surgery perfectly fine, from that point have no doubt, it's not something you can control anyway, but you can bring the best of energies to it and let it go!

The big day! so excited for you. You are doing this in part for your 11 year old. He/She will be so happy that you are healthy and a great roll model. You get to prolong your life and spend more of that time with your 11 year old.

Get ready for the amazing things on the other side of being sleeved.

Hope you recover well,

Jenn

I had my surgery last Wednesday 5/13 and going today 5/15. Feeling really good, all that really hurts is if i take to big of a sip of any of my liquids. no nausea but they put anti-nausea patch on before surgery. Excited for this journey!

Doing well I think, no nausea and not much pain with surgical sites. I do recommend if you're having surgery soon invest in sime silky or slippy PJ's it makrs it easier to turn in bed! I have been sipping on wwater and my Protein Shakes throughout the day and its still hard to get the recommend amount in. I still feel bloated from surgery, cant wait until that goes away. Hoping the up coming sleevers have a good experience as im having.

      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?

        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.
