Today is my day. Need to be at the hospital at 7:00, unfortunately due to the weather it is going to take longer to get there. Praying we get to the hospital safe with these snow covered roads.

Hoping the best for you. I am behind you. I am next Monday.

Walked multiple times. My shoulder just feels like I pulled it from the gas, no nausea. My mouth is wicked dry, feel like I can't get enough fluids in me. Glad I have an overnight, because we are getting snowed in here in PA.

Wow! Look at all the people who got banded between yesterday and today. Congratulations Ladies!! You are on your way to Recovery and the next step in your journey! Take it easy for the next few days and think about YOU and how you are going to meet your goals. You went through a lot to get here, but there is still a long road ahead until you get to where you want to be.

What I love about this site is that we take good care of each other!

      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!
