I'm 3 mths post op. Have you been to the support groups? I was just at the one at Presby on Saturday. I'm doing really, really well. I feel like a broken record saying this but I honestly had no problems. I started walking in recovery, I had no pain so I didn't need the morphine pump, no gas, no Constipation, no issues with any foods or drinks. Losing steadily and feeling great. The staff was great when I was in the hospital and I love the team I see for follow up appointments. Sam the nutritionist is always so positive and encouraging and I LOVE having that handbook. I have a lot of allergies and I actually took the pages out took them with me when I was shopping for my Vitamins and Protein drinks. I feel really well taken care of with this program.

@@justcallitsugar - I have to see what my schedule is like. I know the nutritionist like to have a few post ops attend to share their experiences. I'll try to make it.

      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!
