I think that's a good age to start your journey. My regret is not doing this earlier. I'm 41 married with 2 kids. I'm looking forward to making the rest of my 40's fabulous. My date is 10/21.

That's my regret too. Had I known I could do this on my own, I would've done it at least 3-4 years ago. You people in your 20s to early 30s, don't doubt this decision for a second! Move forward and make this decision for you so you don't regret losing time later. Time is the most beneficial asset we lose sight of until its right in front of our face, and I plan on making the most of it- as long as everything goes well with my surgery and I hope and pray it will :)

Yes. My appt w him is on 9-20, they'll do everything in one day. I'm nervous because I'm meeting him 2 wks before surgery. But he came highly recommended. Can we eat anything on our Optifast diet or liquids only?

      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!
