I just wanted to let the future sleevers out there know that I finally had my surgery after waiting forever and it went fantastic and I was just going to share some of my experiences with you that I've had since the surgery.

Going into surgery I was so nervous and was just beside myself with anxiety but that changed very quickly once I had the drugs to calm me down. The operation was very quick (about 30-45 minutes).

I won't lie to anyone (and I wish someone would have exaggerated this to me) I felt like I had been hit by a bus after surgery. I was in so much pain all the way up to my ribs because of the gas.

As the day went on the gas had gotten better and I feel much better. I've had some nausea all day but meds have kept it under control and I have yet to vomit or anything. It's taken me all day to get all of my liquids in, but I'm almost there.

But for anyone approaching your surgery soon, I just want to let you know, I have no regrets and I feel great for just being 1 day post op and can't wait to see all the changes :)

I am scheduled for Friday and I too have been very anxious and second guessing my decision.

Congrats to you and I wish you a speedy recovery!

      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!
