Good for you! Don't be scared to death. Be thrilled for LIFE!!!!!!!!! I haven't had mine yet, but so understand the anxiety effect of planning for this big step! Look at this as one huge adventure. Prayers out there for you and I know you'll be writing to us soon.

I will fly to San Diego tonight then go to Tijuana tomorrow morning and have my surgery with Dr. Corvala . I will fly home Saturday. Please keep me and the wife in your prayers. I am scared to death..Johnny

I just came from there (VSG). Everything will be fine. You will be surprised as to how fast you will stat to feel better. The first 2 days are uncomfortable but nothing that you cannot manage, especially with your wife at your side. If you feel that you are too anxious, ask them for a little benzo. It worked wonders with me. Calming vibes going your way. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

      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!
