My surgery is in the morning what was your first 24 hours like for example you woke up from surgery open your eyes and what did you feel know what I mean like who prepares me for that some people say I'm going to feel like I'm dying did you feel like you're going to die funny not funny but I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from I guess I just want to know what to expect the first few hours right after surgery anything would help thanks I'm a nervous wreck right now

I also had surgery on the 12/11 and was very nervous too. To be honest when I woke up I was still out of it. I would see and hear the nurses but wasn't able to speak. My throat was really sore from the breathing tube. The worst part for me, was that I was really nauseous due to the anesthesia. I would try to vomit and nothing would come up but the anesthesia doesn't sit well with me, so this might not happen to you. I was starting to feel a better that same evening but still very sore. And gas pains are real bad, so make sure to walk and walk as soon as you can even if it's at a turtle pace :) Good luck to you!

Congratulations on your journey! My "surgiversary" is December 11. What a difference a year makes. The struggle is real but it is totally worth it. Just take advantage of all the information and advice on this site and keep the faith. I had my first post surgery appointment with my primary doctor today and ALL of my "numbers" are fabulous. I look better, but more importantly I FEEL better!!

Best wishes!!

I was sleeved on Monday 12/14 and doing great too! If the Soup tastes good please share the recipe.... the cream of chicken I just made was not so great. Canned Soups made me sick before because of the MSG so I don't want to try them.

      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.
