Thanks everyone. I realize everyone is here to help. I was hoping someone that had had LB with a small toddler could offer any advice. Thankfully I have his sitter, my mom and his dad helping for a full 7 days after surgery but I am going to resume much of his care after that. I had him

Via c-section so I'm no stranger to stomach pain while taking care of a baby.

I'm also concerned with the mindless eating that comes along with taking care of a baby. He grazes much of the day and what he doesn't eat I tend to automatically put in my mouth.

Before I joined the site I was confident this was going to work, but reading about people that haven't lost a pound has totally scared me! I realize its in their power to change that but it still scares me.

      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!
