Hi QueenBX.... they did give me gas x plus I brought my own. It helped some but walking and breathing exercises are the best. I fell asleep today due to nausea med. plain Water make me gag so nurse said do flaored Water pack and I have been doing so . I will def parlay for you and I'm sure you will do great. I have 6 lap sites that are really small . I'm just sore but this too shall pass.

So glad you are doing okay! I will join you on the losers bench tomorrow. Will they let you have Gas-X strips? I hear a lot of people say that it helped them after surgery. I will keep you in my prayers!!

Gas X strips really helped me. The peppermint helped with nausea, and they kept my mouth wet since the entire first day and night I wasn't allowed to drink a thing.

They did help with the gas, I took 3 at a time to feel relief. But walking walking walking and some more walking helped a ton. Best of luck tomorrow.

My sleeve was done on the 6th. I spent a lot of time walking the halls, about everything 90 minutes-2 hours. That really helps. Or if that is too much, then try just standing for a couple of minutes

My surgery is 12/22, I am so nervous- I started my liquid diet today and I am so afraid of getting a hunger headache. I am trying to stay as hydrated as possible.

      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!
