California? Anyone...ツ



Recommended Posts

I live in Tracy, but am being seen in Fremont! My file has finally headed to my surgeon, so crossing my fingers to hear about a surgery date shortly :)

Anyone in my neck of the woods prefer one support group to another?

I'm in Hollister California and I have a great support group. I have to drive an hour to Monterey, but it's worth it, as I get to see the ocean!

Hi there my name is Lota and I'm pre-op. I tried to send you a private message on my phone but its doing something else :rolleyes:. If you don't mind where in Monterey do you meet with your support group? I live in Soledad and I've been looking for a support group to keep myself from driving all the way to San Jose.

      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!
