If you havent taken them to a doctors appointment with you I would encourage you to do so. Even if you have already been to a seminar, have them go to one with you. It seems people are so uneducated about the procedure and its life long benefits that they are automatically negative. Education is key and the more people you have behind you the better. Consider it your mission to rally the troops.. you can do it.

I would def have some of them go with you to support groups. Others that had the surgery tell u how it has changed their lives. I'm going for an October surgery and my boyfriend goes with me and he realizes I'm not only doing this for myself to be healthier and live longer but also I want children and I have already miscarried. He supports my decision to be healthier now so we can have children

      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!
