This is so encouraging...have been reading so many "not so happy" stories. I am scheduled for tomorrow and I almost don't want to come on here anymore because what I am reading is scaring me. But I also know that if I don't have the surgery that my health will continue to spiral downward...on the verge of diabetes, high cholesterol...etc with a family history of heart disease...so I know I need to lose weight but can't seem to do it on my own

Way to go girl! Keep it up and keep posting your progress it is so good for the rest of us :)

That's great! I am so anxious to get through this pre-op stuff and get approved (thinking positively).

[Gayle, good luck tomorrow]

You have to take the negatives for what they may be. Some ate regretting lifestyle changes and others because of complications. You'll have a chance to speak to your surgeon before going into the OR and I suggest you take the advice of a medical professional over a lay person. Best wishes on your surgery.

      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!
