Hey Texas Sleevers,

I'm not from TX, but have a surgery date in Dallas on Wed 6/22. I expect I will be discharged either Thursday or Friday. I'm traveling alone and trying to figure out a little glitch. I have to be "checked out" by someone. I'll have a place to stay arranged close by, but they aren't sure the hospital will let me take a taxi - going to check on that next week.

Just wondering if someone in the Dallas area might be willing to "check me out". I'm pretty sure it could be arranged towards the end of the day for anyone working and I'll have money for gas to reimburse you.

If you or anyone you know might be willing to help out a future sleever, please let me know. Thanks.

      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!
