Good luck with all that. Most stressful part of my surgery was scheduling. Thought I had everything done to find out I did not, and the. Had to reschedule. Almost made me want to forget the whole thing. Turns out worth it in the end though.

Oddly, they had me set up for RNY as well. Even said that is what I went in for, but it was due to a coding issue the hospital was having, and even double and triple checked with my doctor the day of surgery. As I said, irritating. My issue was more with the doctors office though. The staff are not....customer service friendly. That however, is mostly past.

Just had to say welcome. I love that fact that you used the word "y'all". As a Tennessee girl, it is part of my regular vocabulary!

      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!
