So this is my second post on this app. Like I said in my first post, I am a very private and shy person at first. I have been researching getting the sleeve for 2 years now and it is time. I have my consult with Dr Sprunger in Phoenix AZ. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Any advise is great. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. Make sure you ask all of the questions you may have. I think all of us are excited and nervous.

I too have only made a few posts, but reading and listening to what people have to say is a great way to gain a wealth on knowledge! I have my surgery on the 14th! Lots of hard work to get ready, but a lot of help and info from this board! Best of luck!

Hi Rebecca,

I am in Tucson and going to my consult appointment this Wednesday. I'm very excited but nervous. How did your appointment go. Do you have any tips for me?

Thanks.

Carolyn

      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.

      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!
