So holy crap! It's been quite a 3 months for me. My surgery was uneventful. No complications to speak of. I haven't had any issues with any foods not agreeing with me. I'm just over 3 months out and I'm down 75 pounds! I started at 360 and today I'm 285. I can't remember the last time I was below 300. I've been exercising a lot and have more energy than I've had in years. I mow the lawn twice a week and have even started to mow other people's lawns just because I enjoy the exercise. People comment literally every day how great I look. I was in 22" shirts and now I'm in 18.5". Before surgery I was in size 54 jeans and now I'm in size 42. Like I said, its been quite a 3 months for me. Best decision I ever made for myself!

The photo is in the same shirt, just with 75 less pounds packed into it! I hated taking the first photo, I loved taking the second!

      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!
