I have had two weeks of a real emotional rollercoaster... Possile cancer diagnosis being the worst of the information that was given to me in this time period. About a week after I got that news, I realized that the stress from it was bringing up all the old feelings, emotions, thoughts and behaviors of my compulsive eating disorder. A year and a half after surgery, and I had mostly gotten control of them. I have been without a fill since April, so basically unrestricted since at least October of last year. I called for an appointment for a fill, and the first available was two and a half weeks away. I was afraid of two weeks of this emotional junk without restriction. I just got a call from the doctor's office and it seems that they had a cancellation Monday, this coming Monday!!!

Now my mind can get away from the hunger pangs, and be allowed to focus on keeping myself healthy while I wait the weeks and weeks before I find out about the cancer issue.

I must say, contributing to the posts and questions here has been very theraputic.

      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.

      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!
