Umm, Wow, I mean Holy Crap! Shocking. ~ and that sounded bad. It's my first response and you are the first post I looked at at this website. I am in more shock is what I am trying to say... I am floored! Jaw on the ground. Do you realize how unbelievable your weight loss is? I am looking at the blinking cursor and getting fearful that I will have this process eventually. It's unnerving and surreal. I've been to classes for my program, nutritionalists, the APRN and exercise physiologist and psych eval And I am doing what they are requesting. I've been to groups with past GI surgery participants and heard their stories plugging away at the requirements however...

The impact of what you have done is incredible! IT HAS JUST HIT ME. Sorry I didn't mean to yell. You just made it real right at this moment. Your experience has been a teaching moment and I am the student who just got it.

Thanks for your post.

Alison,

I maybe reading your post the wrong way. However, there seem to be some high anxiety. I right now will support and help anyone here. Yes I've lost a lot of weight. Everyone loses at their own pace. I've stuck to a lot of what my doctors say. It can be a very scary process. Things are done in our lives when we are ready to have it happen. I will never say I regret it! And I'll take your shock as a compliment as well.

Much love

Kevin

      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!
