Thanks. That's good to know. My husband is going with us. That' date='would be a bit unnerving. Yea I worry about the connecting flight too. I don't want to get a wheel chair either. I have fibromyalgia and when I flare up bad I work hard at not walking like I'm in pain. Lol. I try to add a little arm swag to make it look like I'm just strutin my stuff. Haha. So no wheel chair for me. How haventhe gas pains been? That seems to be the worst complaint.[/quote']

I really think since you already deal with pain and have a good attitude unless you have complications (which are rare from what I hear) you will do good. The pain is very manageable. I really did not have much gas pain. I also felt like following the strict pre op diet helped a lot. I lost 12 lbs before surgery. I didn't end up taking all my pain meds they gave us. I did take them the day I was traveling because I was afraid of exerting myself and thought I might over do it. I have not taken any since then. I'm glad your husband is going. I wish mine could've but it was fine.

The Marriott was great. They were very friendly and attentive. They even called my room a couple of times to see if I needed anything. Make sure to take small bills for tipping. Are you staying in the Marriott?

      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!
