I am a little over four weeks out of surgery and I am down 33 pounds, which is great! Even better, I am down to 1 blood pressure pill a day. I was on four prior to surgery! My blood pressure on this one pill is perfect! I really think I will be medication free soon! I really didn't think I would get this healthy so fast. what a great feeling!

Great feeling! Congratulations!

It's nice to get up in the morning and say to yourself, "Let's see, what meds do I have to take this morning?...Oh yeah, ....nothing!" I have a feeling you are almost there. :)

Thank you so much! It is a great feeling! More than looks or clothes or anything else, I was worried about my health and heart. My father died after having his third heart attack almost four years ago. I owe it to my family and myself to take care of myself!

As of yesterday, I am now medication free of my blood pressure medications! I guess my doctor was wrong about that last pill! My blood pressure dipped really low this weekend on that last pill and we had to drop it. I couldn't be more excited and already feel more energetic today without it! Those pills can really drag you down and make it even more difficult to do the things you need to do to be healthy!

      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.

      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!
