First of all, I am doing MUCH better today. Every day is better than the one before. The first 3 were very rough for me but day 4 (yesterday) I started feeling more like myself. Day five (today) I even did a little bit of shopping and felt fine. Aside from the incision pain, and some lingering leg pain, I'm pretty damn good! Yeah!!

Okay, now on for the exciting news I just HAD to share with my LAPfriends. I lost another 9 lbs since my pre-surg visit last Tuesday. I am down 14 pounds total from 2/4/11 (when I started pre op diet). Woohoo! I swear I can already feel it!

YEAH!:D

You are doing so awesome! I'm glad that your discomfort subsided and you are feeling almost back to normal. (((HUGS))) How is the mushie stage? I'm going with your suggestion and taking a little more than a week off from work -- longer if needed (my doctor said he would approve whatever I wanted). It's paid leave with physician approval, so I plan to take advantage of it and now rush back. :) Can't wait to be a banded loser with you all! LoL.

      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!
