My surgery date is December 5th. I am excited and nervous but so ready for this new way of life. I would love to connect with someone going through surgery the same day or close to it for support [emoji846]

Hi. I got mine on the 7th amd am really struggling with this gas and the one incision were the removed my stomach. But the gass is way worse. I do walk sometimes but not for long and immediately need a narcotic medicine other wise the pain is unbearable.

I had my surgery on 12/2 and I have also had gas pain. However, it has subsided a bit more each day. Gas-X and walking really helps. Also, try something warm to drink. I even warmed my Water and walked a bit

Nice….. My pants feel a bit loose but I don’t believe I’ve gone down a size in clothing. Kudos to you

My sleeve was 12/8 and so far so good. I had more discomfort than I thought but I'm happy to say I'm feeling better each and every day. I'm on a liquid diet until Sunday and then I can start incorporating "soft" food and have to be honest, I am really looking forward to it because even though my tummy is full I would like to "physically" eat something.

How is everyone else handling this phase?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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.
