Hi Everyone,

My name is Caroline i live in the channel islands Jersey. I am flying out to Prague on monday 21st July for my pre op and then my surgery is booked for 22nd. i am having a plication.

i am 5ft 5 and i weigh 116 kgs i have no clue how much that is (i use stone and lbs) and i do not want to know!

i am an active person who is stuck in this body and i want to be free! I have high bp and my joints all swelll and ache and even walking is a job. I recently had an attack of pancreatitus which my consultant thinks is due to my bp tablets. Which i prob wouldnt need if i was not over weight.

So i am very excited to be going for this surgery.

Would love any advice and feedback. :D

      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!
