Best if Luck to you my surgery was going to be on 9/4, but I had to reschedule cause I came down with a sinus infection and Bronchitus the day I started the liquid diet....not nice! I was on so many meds I decided to push it to 9/18. Hope all goes well!!

Alex, good luck tomorrow! My surgery is on Thursday and I know how you feel about being excited, but really nervous too. I know that's normal. We just have to remind ourselves that we've done our research and made an informed decision and this is the beginning of an exciting, healthy new life. We can do it!

Thanks so much everyone! Surgery went good. I have to stay overnight :( which I was not expecting. And I'm in a lot of pain but hopefully that gets better soon! Thanks again.

Hi Alex, let your doc and staff take care of you. Hopefully, you will get home today.

I see you are another Alabama girl. I am from Jacksonville. Where are you from?

Alex,

From one young bandster to another (or so it appears!) congratulations on making the leap! I had my surgery in April and it was hands down the best decision I ever made for myself! Follow the rules and take each day as it comes and you will do great! It's already changed my life and I am so grateful! Best of luck!

      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!
