In less than 48 hours, I'll have gone under the trocar, as it were.

So excited and nervous and looking forward to never having Jell-O again as long as I live.

Today's the day!!!! Four hours until my sleeve surgery. I didn't sleep worth a hoot. Awake every hour, but I think that's probably expected. Developed laryngitis since Sunday night. Nurse said it won't be a problem. Praying my doctor is of the same thinking. My throat is already sore. The breathing tube will probably add to that soreness.

Question: Did everyone have someone with them after they returned from the hospital? Is it a necessity?

Good luck!! I'll say a prayer for you. The breathing tube will make it worse, but only for a couple days. It's not too bad once you can start sipping on Water. And yes, I'm married and so my husband was home with me. My mom stayed too to help. You don't HAVE to have someone, but it's best if you can because if you're too sore to get up and get things, they're there for you. Although you definitely need to get up and walk! :) and you also shouldn't bend over. So if you drop something, they can get it for you. But if you'll be alone, I'll sure you'll do great! Keep us updated :)

I had by bestie with me for one day and have been on my own since. Better if you do as much for yourself as possible (other than lifting). And walk walk walk... it really makes a difference.

      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!

        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.

      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!
