Great story Tammy. I had started reading it earlier and become so engrossed in it that I was almost late to my pre op appointment! So now that I am home from doctor and picking up some wonderful liquid diet mix (day one for me) I had to come back and finish reading and tell you Thank you for sharing. You really had a trip to get your surgery! I am thankful I have insurance and will be in a hospital close to home and all the tests will be done in one place. Mexico can be scary if you have never experienced other countries before. Please keep us updated!

Hi Tammy,

I read your blog. Very interesting story. Did you say you actually walked to the recovery room after surgery? Maybe I read it wrong, but I sure hope they wheel me in. I'm glad, too, that insurance is paying and I will be 45 minutes from home, that trip sounds grueling. Glad you are done and on your way to your new life. Keep us updated on your progress.

      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!
