Hello!

I just want to put my lil story on here. I started with True Results earlier this year. I didn't feel satisfied with everything, especially when the "nutritionist" that I spoke with told me to lie on my food logs for insurance purposes. Since Dr Hollis is one of their docs, I looked into him and I like what I saw. I finally got the call on October 13th that I was approved for surgery thru my insurance!!! I was so excited. They told me to start my pre-op diet. They told me about a week later that my surgery was scheduled for November 14th. I asked them if I could have my surgery sooner as I was out of work right now for back problems, and I was hoping to go back soon. They called me the next day, and said I could have the surgery on October 24th! Wow! I diligently stuck to my diet. I lost a lot of weight before my surgery! I still continue to lose weight in such a way that it totally amazes me!

Anyways, thanks for listening to me! I can use any advise y'all have for me!

Thanks,

Audra Nurse_Otter

      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.

      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!
