@CrazyBeautifal31- hi! We are practically neighbors. Did you end up having your surgery? If so, who did you go thru? I am super nervous about the approval process now...

That's great! I'm at the stage of waiting to see the Nutritionist on Weds and then to see if insurance will approve. From what I hear, that's the worrisome part. I sure I can be on the losers bench as well as I am tired of being miserable.

Well saw the NUT today, all good, saw the MD again and he ordered an EKG, which I did right downstairs and all good, have to have a mammo which is Friday morning. Md called me a little bit ago and said he pulled my bloodwork from another ms and while he only has a couple things to test for, acid in my stomach and B12 plus a urine test, he said it shows I am pre diabetic!! I was pissed that the dr who took this lab work for me several months ago never told me that!

      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!
