Surgery 2/28 I am a little scared, but also excited. I was supposed to have the sleeve but my surgeon really feels RNY is much better as I have a hiatal hernia and Gerd.

Following my strict low carb diet. Constipated as heck! Ouch! Down 11 pounds with two weeks to go. Anticipating this surgery and praying for the best. I read some of the post op issues people have, and my fingers are crossed.

Hi Juliz 1972! I am all ready for my surgery! Date is this Friday and kinda nervous. Worried about my passion for food. I bought tons of the Atkins sweets and living off them :(. I have Clear Liquids the day before and that is it. I have gained tons of knowledge from this site and people sharing their experiences. You can email if you'd like. Cory1060@gmail.com. My name is Teri.

      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!
