So I know I am several months late on this thread...BUT I am from Lafayette and I am having my surgery done in New Iberia on March 20. My mom does anesthesia for a lot of Dr Chu's cases; she says she is phenomenal. I would have gone with her but my insurance doesn't cover it so I did self pay through a great dr in New Iberia and I only had to wait two weeks from my first appointment! Avillias did you have your surgery and how did it go? I would love to meet some people from the area to keep in touch with. Chrisi I am a teacher as well; thankfully I could coordinate it with Easter break. Did you have your surgery? Hope all is well!

      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!
