Hi everyone. I was referred to this site by my doctor (Nicholas Bertha in New Jersey). Glad to see so much support coming thru my screen. I will definitely be running to you guys for help...

My surgery is on March 12th. I'm not scared...but I am really anxious to get the scale moving!

Can't wait...

:clap2: Congratulations to both of you...I wish I was where you both are. I am still in the "how high can you jump through the hoops for your insurance (Cigna)" phase. Good luck and maybe I won't be too much farther behind ya'll.

      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'. ???

      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!
