WAS LIKE MUSIC TO MY HEARS



Recommended Posts

Rcv'd a call from my surgeons office Dr Christopher Reilly, Houston TX stating they were calling to schedule surgery !!! I had the option of 9/26 or 10/10. Knowing how bad I am anticipating this I wanted to take the 9/26 but went for 10/10 just to build more vacation time after unexpt'd vacay with my sick child. :unsure: That's neither here are there but whats really got me going is that IM FINALLY SCHEDULED and it was the easiest process when I thought it would be much harder. So to any of you beginning this journey my words of continuing encouragement is STAY PRAYERFUL, STAY POSITIVE, AND A LITTLE PATIENCE GOES A LONG WAY!! :D

      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!
