This will be my first major surgery. I'm a little nervous about the whole thing and am hoping to make friends who will help support me and me supporting them. All of this is completely new to me. I don't know what else to say, but I'm excited to meet people in the same boat!

welcome abord ... im up in 6 days ...cant believe it but welcome;)

How's the pre diet going? I was wondering about how tough that would be. I work at an Italian restaurant, so I think it'll be an interesting ride!

By the way... Thank you very much. God luck and keep me updated!

Hi Diana, Are you having surgery on the 19th? I thought that is what I saw. I am also. Where are you having yours? Do you have to do a liquid diet a few weeks in advance?? Just curious.

Happy for you. I am having mine in Tijuana. I start my liquids on the 3rd. I will have all my pre-testing done the morning of surgery. Still hoping to find a buddy before I go that is going to Tijuana too. If not, I am sure I will meet people in the hospital walking the halls with me. :) Keep me posted on your progress. Very exciting journey.

      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!
