Thank you so much for that information, doctors always have different information than other doctors. I know my surgery is still new (13 mths) but I thought you could stretch your pouch after a year per on of the doc's at the group I go to. I do however need to slow down my in chewing time lol, I'm still not good at that. When I got my surgery my husband said that I should have a goal weight, but I didn't set one because I just wanted to get below 200 lbs. I know goals are important but I never wanted one, maybe because I didn't want the pressure or to fail. But now that my weigh is stable, I want to lose 15 more lbs. I'm 5'6 and 153 lbs and I'd like to be maybe 135-140. My friends already think I'm skinny and I don't see it the way they see me. Maybe I should just focus on staying healthy yes?

      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!
