Your body is going through lots of change and all of us are different. I experienced gout. I recommend drinking lots of Water and it will pass. Just wait until your about 10 weeks out. For me thats when the fun really starts and you begin to feel like superman.

I'm about three months out and I couldn't be happier. I'm down 56 pounds (62% of the way to my goal weight of 190). I haven't been this weight since my sophmore year of highschool. I feel better than I have in 20 years. I no longer take blood pressure medication and I have reduced or eliminated all of the meds I used to take for diabetes. And it hasn't been all that difficult to keep the weight coming off.

Life is great.

      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!
