I'm scared too! I just got my date today: May 12. I thought there was going to be weeks or months of waiting but my insurance approved the procedure immediately. It really is going to happen sooner than I ever expected. I have two little girls and I sincerely hope I am making the right choice. But like others that have posted here I have fought with my weight my whole life. I'm tired of the yo-yo up and down of the scale. I'm tired of looking at myself and hating what I see and of how that makes me feel. Scared or not, I know this is something I have to do, for my family and most importantly for me.

I'm tired of the yo-yo too! I am a teacher and I want to be able to truly enjoy my summers off with my girls without feeling self-conscious at the beaches Water parks and pools!! It seems so drastic yet I personally know quite a few people who have done some sort of wls. Just praying I get through this. Today was my first day on liquid diet, I'm surviving ok. Just wish it was over and I was already home from surgery!

Good luck to you and definitely keep me posted!

I know what you mean about the pools and Water parks..we are going to Disney World with the girls in a couple of weeks..I dread having to go to the water park in my current condition. But I tell myself "this is the last vacation I will have to endure like this, never again." I wish it were already over too, May 12th can't come soon enough!

I'm only having my gallbladder removed Friday and I'm scared. Gotta be brave and move forward. It's all going to pay off.

      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!
