Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer. I came across this site through Google. I dont have my surgery date yet, but everything is moving so fast and Im starting to get nervous. I had my first bariatric appointment on Nov. 1st. Since then I have completed all of my referrals with the exception of 1 more Nutrition visit and the Endoscopy which is scheduled for Dec.27. I was told by my physician that this whole process would take 6months but on my last Bariatric visit I was told that I will get my surgery date on Jan. 3rd :-/ I wasnt nervous until she said it would probably be the end of Jan or early Feb!!! I was thinking March or April. Did things progress this quickly for anyone else? I dont know why Im so scared all of a sudden. :-(

Once the wheels are in motion, they can move very quickly and it can be exciting and intimidating all at the same time. Just think of it this way, the sooner it is the sooner you can be on your way to your new lifestyle!

      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!
