Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm Tracey from Chicago, Looking for men/woman from Chicago or in Illinois... who are in the process of having the gastric sleeve/bypass or have already been sleeved/bypass. Its so hard trying to find people who are in the same mind frame as you, people who are changing their way of life. Where are you in your journey. I'm expect to have the gastric sleeve surgery the second week of September, no specific date yet... I have one more requirement that will not be completed until 8/18.

when is your first visit... that visit will be with your surgeon, nutritionist, psychiatrist, and his nurse... once they agree that your a suitable candidate you be put thur a series of test... depending on how fast you can get in and get those appointments will determine fast you can schedule surgery. I have one more test and I can schedule for the second week in September.

      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!
