I had all the same as you are going for 3 weeks ago. I want to put up pictures but I cannot figure out how to blur out my nipples lol

Anyway, a heating pad was my salvation for my back. I took the pain pills as I was told, but also took something to help to not bind me. Drink plenty if Water and just relax. You will be soooooo happy. Good luck!!

It hasn't been that long.... Feb 21st. I am down to 158 lbs, size 7/8 jean and don't want to be any thinner! I've been in my 10lbs goal weight range for a few months and since I have met all my deductibles for insurance it is only going to be 64.00 dollars out of pocket! I have been toning with a trainer for 5 weeks to build some muscle in my abdomen hoping for an easier recovery.

My nurse said that I would be there 6 or 7 hours from start to finish. I took that to mean from the time I get there, which is an hour before actual surgery time, until a couple of hours after surgery for recovery. Hopefully I won't be under that long. Anyway, good luck with your surgery today! I am up and getting ready to go now for mine!

Any update from the gal who had TT and boobs this morning? Would love to talk and compare stories.

Congratulations pammy!!

I consulted with Dr harrris but he had little photographic evidence of his work since he had just moved there so I didn't choose him. Love PSSC and am sure he is awesome! Can't wait to see your photos.

      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!
