I have my seminar tonight and I'm so excited... Or I was, but hubby really doesn't want me to have the surgery. I don't know what to do anymore I'm so torn.

I'm sorry he's not supportive. Maybe if you talk to him about why he's against it, you can address his concerns. Is he going with you to the seminar? My husband attended with me and was able to get his questions answered and help me choose a surgeon. Maybe involving him in the process (if you aren't already) would help. Good luck to you!!!

He is going with me. It's not that he isn't supportive I think it's more because he's scared. He's scared of the unknown and scared something will go wrong. I really hope tonight puts him at ease.

My husband, in no way wanted me to have this surgery! But I asked him please just come to the consultation with the surgeon with me.

After we left the surgeons office he knew everything he needed to know (including my true weight) he was able to have all his questions answered and has been my biggest supporter since :)

I'm glad he's coming tonight and good luck to you!

Well my husband had to work late, so he couldn't make it and he has to be at work at 4 am so by the time the seminar was over and I picked up my kids he was already asleep. He did text me during the seminar tho and ask how it was going... So at least he's trying to be supportive. I can't wait to talk to him about it. I'm so excited, but yet so scared at the same time to take this step.

      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!
