I've been having loads of reflux so my doc ordered an upper GI.. Looks like I still have some sort of hernia going on because I will reflux by only tightening up my abs.. the radiology Dr said that it definitely wasn't normal.. Now the wait for the report to my doctor to see what needs to be done to fix it..

Thanks guys I've been a bit miserable with the reflux I can't lay down after I eat because the food will come up. I too hope it's an easy fix

Hopefully it's something they can get under control for you easily!! Did you have reflux with your band? I've had horrible reflux for years. I'm not counting on that going away, would it be nice if it did! lol I've heard of it going all different ways, better, same and worse! :-/

Has the doc mentioned what he may be able to do for you?! Thinking of you. Last thing any of us need after dealing with a lap band, is trouble after a revision!!

I'm waiting to hear from my bariatric surgeon it takes a couple days for the radiologist to prepare the report.. When I had my revision I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired don't think the repair held up after dropping 50 lbs. we shall see I don't like the feeling of food and liquid coming up when I bend or strain my abs so If I need surgery to fix it then we will go that route..

      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!
