Hi everyone! I just recently got on here and have really enjoyed reading a lot of the forms. My surgery date for the Sleeve is scheduled for June 27th and as its getting closer I'm getting nervous! I have to be on a liquid diet for a week before? And tips for that? Also how long were you out of work after the surgery? Any positive tips would be appreciated! Look forward to sharing this journey with everyone!! :)

Good luck with yours...mine is June 22nd, so I can't give you any tips. Just based on what I've read, make sure you have lots of Tylenol handy when you're on the liquid diet ;)

I am also new here but have read many posts for a while and this is my first posting. I am asking my insurance company to pay for a revision surgery due to weight regain and complications from a 10 year old gastric bypass. I have regained most of my weight loss after much hard work to lose the weight and I have an unhappy ulcer and a hiatal hernia. I had no care after surgery as my wls center closed down soon after my operation.

If I get a second chance I will feel very fortunate and take care of my eating and behavioral issues this time.

@@ccflotron34 I decided to postpone mine until July 5th because i have had so much going on. We are buying a home and are moving in on the 1st (we originally were scheduled to close on the 24th!) So I guess you get to go first and can share your experience with 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.

        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!
