good morning all. I signed up a few days and have been scoping it all out. I decided to post because today is my surgery day. I finished my classes in Nov 2011 and im finally taking the plunge. I have 1,000 different emotions right now but there is turning back as of 7am.. reading everyone's postes and stories is very helpful and comforting!

I'm 31 and can't remember EVER being at a healthy weight. I have a 7 yr old that I need to be here for and set a way better example. my family is very supportive and for that I'm grateful! the only health issue I have is hypothyroidism and plantar fasciitis.. I'm excited for what the future has in store for me! please say a prayer for me and I'll gladly do the same.

Everything went well! Thank you for all the support. I'm still here obviously! And today is better then yesterday. I was up and walking last night which really really helped. I'm still groggy from the pain meds and a little nauseous but I'm sipping my fluids. Ive met a few others here doing the same thing and that has helped me also. The nurses at St bernadines have been great! Thanks again everyone. Best of luck!

      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!
