Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I just got an interesting phone call, my Bariatric dr office is doing a infomercial about surgery and my dr recommend me to the company that is doing it since I had a great recovery and been pretty successful so far on this journey.

Unfortunately I declined since I'm been pretty quite about my surgery and haven't really told anyone outside of my wife. It was motivating to get a call like that though.

Congratulations on being asked to do such an awesome thing! Sorry you declined it but it still had to be a fantastic feeling to know you have been such a success that your doctor wanted to use you as his success story for his office!

I was also asked to do something similar but also declined. It IS a good feeling to be a success story though!

      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!
