1 week from today!! So excited! I started my Pre-Op diet with a cold and no appetite ( blessing in disguise) I feel lucky that it hasn't been as bad as I thought. I feel like I'm doing it wrong. shakes and salad and Protein is what they told me... Hmm. I think the straight liquids may be the real test!! Wish me luck!

So I'm 28 and my big day is the 15th with Dr. E Ortiz as my surgeon! Tomorrow I start my liquids, and I lost 11 lbs on my 2 week pre op? I'm so excited I'm all pack and ready to go!

All good thoughts and positive energy coming your way. It would be great to hear how you are doing and how was your experience with the revision surgery. Take care until then.

I'm having surgery on April 17 with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I met another girl online who's actually decided to go with him on the same day so we will be doing it "together" which is nice. Anyone else near the 17th in Tijuana?

I am booked with Dr Kelly on the 17th :). It's coming up fast!

Good luck to all of you ladies!!

I just returned home from my surgery with Dr.Garcia and Ready 4 a Change and I must say i was VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF!!!! I will write a review and everything when I get a chance! One word of advice; even if u feel like u are %100 when u check back in to the hotel, TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS!!! I thought I was ok without them because I was feeling great...until the pain meds from the hospital wore off. OMG!! I was crippled over, couldn't sleep, couldn't walk upright, etc. TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS!!!!

      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!
