Hi all,

I am new to here as of 1am this morning. I haven't yet posted my story but thought I would get going with my fellow November bansters. My date is November 8. I am not nervous about the surgery per se but am nervous about food etc. It will be nice to go thur the ups and downs with you. Any one in the bay area (sf to monterey) California? Mine is being done in Monterey, live in Santa Cruz area.

Getting excited now...the nurse from the bariatric program just called to go over and confirm my medical history, medications, my pre-op appt with the anesthesiologist, etc. And I'm in Day 2 of the two week pre-op diet- I started a couple of days early! (and yes, I'm so hungry, but this phone call helps with motivation!) November 9 is coming up soon! :D

My surgery is set for Nov 22- waiting for insurance approval. In the nervous/scared/excited stage now. You can find me on face book- missraefla is my screen name!

I would love to get a group of people who start when I do so that we can have each other's encouragement. I work too many hours to attend very many in person support groups so I hope the online groups will help.

      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!
