First Post -- Thank you



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

This is my first post. My name is Raine. I've been lurking and reading and reading some more. I've been approved for surgery using the tips you put out there. My surgery is scheduled for Monday 12/23 and will be an awesome Christmas present. I'm nervous, happy, freaking out and ready. I just wanted to stop by, say hello and tell each of you thank you. I'll be reaching out and asking for help as the process continues. I'm really excited about 2-14.

Best wishes. Everything was 10 times easier than I expected. I have shopped, had more fun, and laughed more since surgery 1 month ago than I have in so long...... This is so worth it. Follow your plan, just follow your plan, and don't stray from it, is my best advice! Wonderful Christmas present! Linda

Good luck, Raine! This is my first time writing too even though I've been following it for several weeks. My date is December 26 so it will be a Christmas present for me too. Hope it all goes well.

Thanks so much you guys. I'm 3 days away. There are so many people who post about their experiences and so many more like me (Molly and Betty -- hi guys) who soak up all of the information.

You're all a blessing!

I will continue to post updates and will not hesitate to ask questions. :)

      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!
