Over the last few months I have had the regular up's and down's of going forward with this surgery. But every time I have one of those moment's? I go to this website and start reading abut the surgery and all those whom have walked in my foot steps and always leave here feeling as I have made the right decision.

All whom post on here about their life proir and after surgery have helped me a great deal. I can't imagine my feelings if I had not found this site! Thanks again everyone!

It always brings me such joy to watch everyone's amazing progress. I feel their joy, their pain, their elations and their satisfaction upon reaching goal because I've been there! I am such a big supporter of the sleeve because what it has done for me in my life... sometimes I feel like a human billboard for it. It's ok, I believe in it!!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery on the 5th!!

Aw, so sweet for you to acknowledge everyone who takes time to post. This support group has helped me in many ways before WLS, during those first few months after surgery and now that I have hit goal.

I too appreciate everyone who takes time to encourage, discourage and has the courage to tell it like it is.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery - want a progress update when you are able. Hugs.

      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!
