After almost a year of going through pre approval hoops and clearance stuff ... My sleeve surgery is JUNE 7th!!! Holy cow.

I've been overweight my entire life. And I'm getting the chance to have a tool to become healthy. Wow. I'm a mom to a two year old and I can't wait to have energy to play with him.

Anything you wish you'd known before surgery? My doctor has a one day liquid diet prior to surgery.

I can't believe it. I'm anxious. Scared. Happy. Everything.

How long should I be down for the count, healing?

Wow.

Also, diabetics. Tell me how you're doing!

Congrats! I was just approved and scheduled on today as well...my date is June 16th. I am nervous as heeeck! I didn't think I would be scheduled so close in date so I think that's why its hitting me like a ton of bricks. Hopefully I will wake up in the morning feeling more excited, less nervous and stunned :)

Good Luck to you and journey!!

      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!
