I also just got my approval today! I cannot wait! I am waiting for her to call me back about the date...I am also a teacher. I am wondering how it is all going to work out with scheduling, but this is the first thing I have ever done for myself so I am going to make it work!

I am a teacher as well! My surgery date is tomorrow. I am taking tomorrow and Friday off, and then I have Monday and Tuesday off for fall break. I plan on going back on Wednesday of next week, so I really hope it all goes well, and I recuperate fast! I would hate for my poor sixth graders to feel the wrath of my hanger... nobody likes that. You can ask my family. Poor guys have been living with demon mom/wife for 2 weeks now.

Good luck to all of you October sleevers. October 16th will mark my one year anniversary, and I'm ecstatic with the results so far, high weight of 347, and 178.2 as of this morning. It is a life changing procedure, and I am so glad to have made the decision to go through with it. In the blink of an eye, you too will be at your 1 year, asking yourself, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"

You've done a great job in 9 days shy of a year! Congrats!

Hello, I am 3 weeks post OP on Monday 10/08/18. I was just like you, scared and excited! Since surgery, I haven't been able to meet my Protein and Water goal. I can only drink one bottle of protein and 2 bottles of water. I hope your doing well and not, having any issues. One advice I can give you is, to walk, walk, walk. It helps a lot with the gas. Since being 3 weeks post OP, I've lost 48pds. If your anything like me and others, we basically hated we did went through with the surgery. But, that phase will pass super fast, once you see the numbers on the scale decreasing. Stay hydrated and walk. You got this!

      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!
