You guys have got this. Your first 2 weeks will be the worst but everything will start looking up after that. I'm just over a month out and I'm thrilled with the results.

Today is the day. Hope all those ladies that went in this morning are doing great. I have been listening to the radio and they are all hyped about the eclipse I didn't realize until one of the other posters stated today is a special day with the eclipse and also with all of our surgeries... yay

Hi everyone! ....... My Sleeve surgery was postponed for the 3rd time. Looking ahead to a 9.25.17 date now.

I had previously started the liquid diet for the first 2 days & thought I was going to pass out or die! I was in bad shape & won't lie..... I was relieved that my surgery was delayed another month. Little did I know then, what I know now............. getting past that second day is Key........ that is when your body starts burning off stored fat! Now, I look forward to the next time I do this diet before surgery. They don't tell you everything......... I've read & learned so much since joining this forum. Thanks everyone! :)

Why did your surgery get postponed?

I had a skin infection on just the left side of my stomach called Cellulitis. I spent almost a week in the hospital, in June, on 4 antibiotic drips & have been on others every since that time. This comes & goes....and.... can happen to anyone at anytime with a bug bite, itching, etc. They really don't have a definite answer, except that...... antibiotics don't work good like they did 20 yrs. ago....... which is a scary thing, when you think about it. It looks good now, let's hope it stays that way. I remain on the antibiotics until the day of my surgery.

      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!
