Officially on the losers bench!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 09 January, and I am finally home and in recovery. My surgeon was able to do the single incision and I'll insert a photo here so those of you that are interested, can see! The whole day (and first few days post op) was documented on my YouTube channel as well!!

However, I still feel actual hunger pains in my tummy & I also have the hiccups really bad. They're very painful. Did any of you experience either? I'm walking and whatnot, so not sure what else I can do. Ah!!! Still so unreal that I've been SLEEVED!!

*the scarring above my belly button is from an old belly button piercing. The surgery was done through my actual belly button*

YESSS! UGH! it's still not pleasant for me to hiccup like that, but it's like EVERYTIME I EAT. Now that I'm 4 weeks post op I don't have pain, it's just weird and ...embarrassing. I feel like a science experiment sometimes, but HEY! as long as the scale goes down, I don't mind the hiccups.

I heard of the one incision. Looks great! I however had 5 and My Doc sealed them with glue very neatly. 4 wks out and I can hardly see them. Shout out to Dr. John at the Nicholson Clinic.... No hiccups for 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!
