I have really enjoyed ready all these stories and it really has helped to get me through the last few weeks. I cannot believe tomorrow is the big day. So, so nervous, worried and a million questions. Just wondering how it will feel as you guys say on the other side. Hopefully it will go as well as some of you, not too much pain, and could really do without the nausea. Hope I get all my fluids in and stay hydrated and walking is an issue because I need both knees replaced, but certainly will give it my all. When I get home I wanted to ride my bike, but doc said no for now, take shorter walks more often. I will let you all know how it went as soon as I can. Good luck to everyone having it this week, keep in contact.

      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!
