Hi Kim,

I am in Nashville right now at the Guesthouse suites on Briley. I've shopped all day long and am tired so I came to the hotel and got on the laptop. Welcome to lbt, it is the greatest place in the world for knowledge. Just wanted to say hi and welcome. I live in Eddyville, Kentucky.

Dr. Morton is a wonderful surgeon! I am very pleased with him and the entire process. My surgery was 10/30th. I will be glad to answer any questions if I can help, even though I am a newbie...

Dr. Morton is doing my surgery December 23rd. I am not telling anyone so this group will be great for me. How does the diet work that you do 2 weeks prior to surgery?

      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'. ???

        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!
