One year ago today I changed my life forever with this surgery. One year and 116 pounds later, I am healthier and happier than I have ever been. As miserable as those first few days following surgery were, when doubts were creeping in and I was mourning food - it was totally worth it. And I would do it again ten times over. All of it.

Whether you are just now starting your journey, are a few days post-op, miserable and questioning your decision, or now just maintaining, I wish all of you the best success that this tool can offer. What a difference a year can make!

Congratulations! and Thank-you for your post!

I am just six days post op and yes miserable at times, doubting myself, and all that.

So your words are encouraging.

Congrats again!

Yayyyyy!! Congratulations!!

I will be at my one year anniversary on 10/21 and agree with you a million times over! It was the best thing I have ever done... I would do it all over again, the postives by far outweigh any of the negatives. It's a journey and there are some days that aren't great along the way, but, at least for me, those days were few and far between.

Congratulations again! :)

      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!
