Congrats on getting your date. My date is Nov. 5. Have you started your pre-surgery date yet?

I'm sure it will be soon. I started my pre surgery diet today. It is not easy.

I've been very open with everyone about my surgery and they've all been super supportive. Everyone at work knew that I've been stressed about my pre-op appointment today because I hadn't lost the full 38lbs the doctor required (I was 3lbs shy yesterday). So when I came to work after my appointment, they were all anxious to find out. It was such a great feeling knowing how much these guys are rooting for me. :-)

Then to make it even better, my District Manager, who I just saw last week, came in right before we closed. I came out of the back and he immediately commented on how he could really tell I've lost weight. Totally made my evening.

One more week!!!

That's fantastic that you have so much support. I don't feel that much support would be given from my coworkers so i choose to only tell a few. I do have immense support from my sig. Other however. He will and has been there every step of the way.

      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!
