2 months post op and I just realized last night that I have not had heartburn even once since I started my pre op opti. Guess I can get rid of those giant bottles of Tums at home and work!!!

That's great! Did you need a hernia repair with LBS? I did and evidently I had silent reflux. I never had heartburn, but endo showed years ago damage to esophagus from acid. Since then I take 1 Prilosec daily.

Really glad you're not suffering anymore!

Isnt it great to realize just that little thing. I use to take five medications for my stomach and now I only take prilosec until I have my gallbladder out Dec 11th.

I too tossed out the heartburn meds.... Unless its a coincidence... It tells me heartburn is a direct result of eating fatty foods.

Congratulations

I never had bad reflux, coffee would give me heartburn, tea sometimes, ground beef. I still eat/drink all of those but haven't had an ounce of heartburn since. I did not have a hernia repair.

      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!
