Hi all! I'm Kim and I'm new to this process. I've had my initial consult with my surgeon and am currently on the 6 month supervised diet. I'm so excited to get this journey going. I've been lurking around reading different posts and I love this site! Just wanted to say Hi and thank you to everyone for all the information. It's so cool to hear about everyone's journey and feel like there are so many that understand how I feel!

Welcome, Kim!!!!

Texans are certainly welcome here! :)

I'm an Iowa youngster, age 64, who lives in Florida now.

We have quite a range of experiences with the operation here as you have noticed.

Make yourself at home!

Haha that's awesome! My cousins husband grew up in the house before it was a restaurant. He swears it's haunted. And I'm friends with the original owners daughter :)

I am also a Texas girl. Born in Ft Worth but currently live in GA. I miss TX and get back as often as I can! You can take the girl out of the state, but you can't take the state out of he girl! ;) I also am in the early stages of this journey. All i have left are the Nutritionist visits, then submit to the insurance company for approval. I think my surgery will likely be early May. This site has been a real blessing for support and information along the way! Good luck!

God Bless Texas!!!!

      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!
