I am 29 and my surgery is Oct 7th. I previously had the lap band when I was 24 and that slipped and now i have major complications. I lost some weight on the band but nothing major, about 40 lbs. I wish I would have chosen the sleeve back then but I was too scared to change the anatomy of my stomach. Now I have a little 3 yr old that I want to live for and who I need to be active for. With my weight it is nearly impossible to run after her. Congrats to you on doing it early. I never did these forums before but I think I need to find support in others. I am so nervous but excited at the same time.

Hey there:)

I was banded at 19, and now at 24 I am in the process of sorting out plans to get sleeved!

Everyone I knew who had WLS all told me how lucky I was and how they wished they could of had this surgery at my age, too. You are making such a great decision, girl!

Thank you so much! Good luck with your surgery! ????

      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!
