Hello everyone! I have been reading posts on here for the last couple of days, and I am soooo thankful to see that many others are going through some of the same stuff I am! I even recognize of a couple of you from you tube as well! I must have watched like a thousand videos before my surgery!!

I am 11 days out and feeling pretty good, but still adjusting to how little food I can actually consume; 1-2 oz. max. I find it incredibly difficult to get in my Protein, but I am having no trouble getting in my fluids. In fact, I would just drink Water all day if I could! I have pretty much been heavy my whole life, and pre-surgery, I was at my top weight of 248 for the second time in my life - only this time I decided to make a permanent change, and I can't believe I actually did it!!!

I am a 33 year old wife, mother of three, graduate student, and professional, who wants to be the healthiest me that I can be!! I am soooo excited for what my future holds!

Good luck everyone! I look forward to sharing in this journey with you!

Congrats, I just began my journey...I too want to live a healthier life and been struggling all my adult life with my weight and being diabetic. My surgeon says I wont have diabetes after the surgery. I am not full diabetic, I dont take medicine yet, and he says I wont have to...So I think this is the best option for me.

      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!
