Nerves are really kicking in today...I am at work and bit cranky--trying to not bite people's heads off! Have mercy! Can't I just go home and hide?!

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

How wonderful for you! Glad that it's going good for you! How are you feeling?

I’m doing well! Struggling to get my fluids in but I think every one goes through that. The only pain I have now is from my injection sites of the blood thinners. I’m having some of the bad side effects of that. Otherwise this is the best decision I’ve ever made!!

Welcome and best of luck to you!

I was sleeved on 4/4/19 and never experienced pain. Apparently, I don't know how to sip liquids and am always introducing air into my GI tract. :-)
FYI - don't introduce air into your GI tract.

I had my sleeve surgery on 14 Apr. Doing ok, but the unexpected sneezes (3 so far) feel like they are tearing me in half (about 2 in above and to the left of my navel). I sit with a pillow on my lap now.

Small pillows are a life saver!! Hopefully you’ll only need it the first few weeks 👍🏻

      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!
