Hey I think I recognize you from the support fb page. When did you have your surgery? I'm super excited. Scared about the aftermath though. Do you get good pain meds and naseau meds in the hospital? I'm self pay so I'm nervous they will treat me different and just give me the basics since United Healthcare isn't footing any of the bill. That's probably stupid to think but it has crossed my mind. When did you go back to work? I'm hoping I can return the following Monday......

Hello- October 18!!! Still waiting for final ins approval, but I am not too worried about that. Also, I have to see a dermatologist for some thing they found in my throat. So excited!

I'm 47, I'm having some food funerals, and hope to loose about 10-15 lbs by my surgery date.

Hi' date=' I am Sue. I am 46 years old, two teenage daughters 16 & 14 and hubby :) I have a date of October 12th but waiting for approval from insurance. Will be having surgery with Dr. Noyan in New Jersey. I am a transcriptionist by trade and a SAHM by heart (but not pocket book) and I work from home. I sit at my computer for literally 10 hours a day, so I have become extremely out of shape besides the weight I need to lose so I plan to start walking slowly but surely. I am 277 and hope to lose 110 pounds.[/quote']

Dr Noyan did my surgery on Monday, Aug 27th. I feel fabulous today

Anyone else impatiently waiting? lol

No doubt, although I put a countdown app on my phone.... Just over a month is really not that far. I start preop in three weeks!

The countdown made it seem more real.

      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!
