Recommended Posts

Hi guys my surgery is on Thursday may 19th. A day out. However my birthday is on the 23, sort of a 20th birthday present. I'm ready to get my body in shape the way it should and try to control my PCOS. I'm getting really nervous,

Any support, tips or tricks for the sleeve would be much appreciated and returned ❤️

You will do great.

The thing I think that helped me the most was to make a commitment to do everything my team asked me to do, even if I was afraid or thought I couldn't do it.

After surgery, the sooner you can get up and walk the better.

Sip, sip, sip: getting in all of your Protein and fluids is critical for healing and weight loss.

I also decided to only weigh at doctors appointments early out. Staying off the scale can save your sanity.

Best of luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.

And, Happy Birthday!

Mine is May 20th, so I'm right behind you. I too have PCOS, which was the main deciding factor for getting this surgery.

Yes, I have 1 child, but had to do through fertility clinic for that. Praying that the weight will fix the problem for the future.

Sore. My stomach just feels empty. Every time I try to drink I feel a burp coming. Other that my abdominal area though I feel good. I went for a walk and to the bathroom.

Day 2 and I feel so much better. I can drink juice and broth again. Pain is manageable and slight weird feeling. I've walked around this floor a couple times now for 20 minutes each time.

      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!
