Here you go!!! There is one more, it's an informal group that a Forest Park Medical Center patient got started....for anybody, and it's on Saturday. I'm actually attending ALL of these groups, they're fun, informative and I really am a big believer in attending!! The Saturday one was meeting on the fourth Sat or the month, but I think we are switching to the third Saturday....we've been meeting at 12:30 at Season's 52, a great restaurant that has fresh food, and all meals are 475 calories or less. If you are interested, send me a message with your emal address and I'll get Kevin to add you to the email list! Medical Center Plano meetings are..... 2nd & 4th Thursday - Monthly - 6:00 p.m.

I live south of Dallas. My surgery is scheduled for June 24th :-)

I'm excited to have a new start, but yet a little anxious about all the details of what all I have to do right after surgery and all. But I have a great Dr. with a very supportive staff.

Blessings,

Lisa

      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!
