I was just sleeved 2 days ago on the 3rd. It’s been an experience, but a good one!

We’re getting our sleeves on the same day! I’ve been on liquid diet for 8 days now, I’m looking forward to just it being the day finally! Do you feel ready?

I’m doing great. A little stiff in the torso today. Lots of reflux but it passes pretty quickly. I think in another week my incisions will feel better. But I haven’t reached over a 5 on the pain scale.

Im struggling getting fluids in but I’m trying. How are you doing?

I find myself on a bit of a roller coaster at the moment--some times I feel completely ready (and my hospital team has been great), and sometimes i feel a little overwhelmed, and other times completely excited! How about you? Ready?

@labgoddess I can’t figure out how to quote/reply directly in mobile (very new to the forums and also not a whiz at technology 😂). That’s basically how I feel too!! But I’ve done 9 days on liquid now, so right now I’m just ready for it to be done and not have to do any more waiting! I’ve gotten all my prescriptions and I’ve stocked up on Protein Powder and Jello for when I get home after the procedure but still a little nervous! Can’t believe it’s only a few days away now.

I'm having the bypass on the same day :) My surgery date was originally set for June 6, but I got a call Thursday that my surgeon had a cancellation, I'm so excited! Not nervous at all, super ready!

      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!
