Surgery blogs



Recommended Posts

I know there are a lot of blogs out there by people who have gone through the surgery, but most of the blogs I've found on my searches are from people who are quite far post-op and either at goal weight or a few years in. I was wondering if anyone could give links to newer bloggers who are perhaps pre-op but near, or recently post-op?

Thanks very much.

Have you tried searching youtube? There are several people there who have posted their weight loss journeys. Before my surgery I watched several people from the beginning to present time of their journeys. I was able to see a lot of different aspects of what happens after surgery. It was a big help because I knew beforehand that I shouldn't expect things to be perfect. It was also fun to watch people shrink! I always watched the videos from oldest to newest.

Thanks for your answers guys! Unfortunately internet in my little city in Indonesia is not good, so streaming videos is kind of problematic. I can do it on my phone (which is faster) but it uses up my data. For that reason written blogs are more appropriate for me.

Thank you for sharing though, if I do get an opportunity for a more stable connection I'll check things out.

Does anyone know of any written blog that are early in the process?

      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.

      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!
