Hi, I'm the one who is on for July 24th. I haven't seen others yet. What state are you in? I'm in South Florida. Dr Wizman is my surgeon. I am counting down the days on an iPhone app. Can't wait to get this done! I am trying to make some adjustments now in what I'm eating, but still gaining.

That's great Lite n Sweet! Welcome to the July 2014 club! Looks like you're the earliest in the month so far. You'll have to lead the way. I can't wait. I'm tired of carrying this weight around and ready to start getting rid of it. It's encouraging to see the success of people on this forum. It's also helpful to see the honesty of getting through the pre op and post op periods but it will be well worth it!

That's great fhawkins! We've got a good group going! Please share your experience so those of us later in the month can follow. I just did pre-op blood work today and get chest x-Ray Weds. Each appt gets me closer to the 24th. Just scheduled off work. I'll be out for 10 days which should be enough to start to recoup.

      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!
