Hello all. I had my EDG a little over a week ago. I tried not to think about it until I was actually sitting in the hospital. I have a bad gag reflex and was scared. They sprayed my throat with numbing stuff and then jumped right in. I gagged like crazy but it went fast! Thank God! I was soon on my way. I have to wait for results. I have reflux and didn't even know it. I never have heartburn or anything like that. They said I could have reflux in my sleep. They did a biopsy and will get back with me if its positive for barretts. I may have to get by-pass instead of the sleeve if it is. ugh!! I have 2 more nutrition classes and then I guess I wait for them to review my file and submit to insurance. Crossing my fingers they dont need me to do anything else! I so wish I had my preop apt soon too hannysgrammy! I'm ready to get on with it!

      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!

        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.

      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!
