I have my date March 1st. I'm excited and nervous. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I lost a total of 110 LBS and I am in a size 6. I don't even think I was born this size lol. I had to show my photo ID the other day and the girl asked if I had another ID, since the picture was not mine! Guess I need a new Drivers license now. Anyway I went to many different DR's and heard may different opinions and tales but I found a dr who I'm comfortable with and has been doing this for 30 years.

I completely get it! I am sure I was born a size 14! My tt is the best thing I have done for myself second only to my lapband. I am a month out and my scar is already fading. My recovery was good. I was never in any major pain... I did have an infection related to a hematoma 2 weeks post op but its under control and my dr thinks I will be just fine.

Congratulations on making the decision to have this done! You will LOVE the results.

      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!
