Not goin to lie scared out of my mind I'm a 30 male weigh bout 350 5"9 in height and a smoker trying to quit

I think it's great that you're brave enough to take control of your life. You'll be equally as brave going into the surgery and coming out as you begin your journey. Haven't seen too many men on the forums; but I know they exist. Thanks for sharing and sending prayers up for you for a speedy recovery!

Best to you!

I'm scheduled for Aug. 6th. I start my liquids this coming Monday & I'm having doubts because of the pain ( I don't handle pain well, I am hoping it's not as bad as I'm making it out too be) & just going thru major surgery I guess. But I am seriously thinking of canceling, my husband says he's behind me no matter. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...

      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!
