Hi, I feel fantastic. So much better than I ever expected. I've been up and walking around, using my laptop and talking to the other patients. I've been catching up on Netflix as this clinic has private rooms and televisions with apps. I can even call back to the US for free.

I expected that it would be a trying physically and emotionally but it's nothing like that for me (so far). I received some xanax crushed up in apple juice before the surgery and had an iv put in with meds (painkiller, antibiotics, anti-nausea and an antacid) plus a blood thinner shot. Ten minutes later they took me to the operating area. I dozed off and when I woke back up didn't even realize that that the surgery was finished. I was told it took about 30 minutes for the procedure.

I'm feeling very fortunate and hope this feeling of wellness lasts.

I'm waiting on a surgery date but they are expecting it to be mid to late April. I have to do a stress test then I get a date. I'm in Missouri. Where's yours?

Good luck to you. I'm anxious to get my surgery date. It's supposed to be by mid April. I just want to be on the healing side so I can move forward with getting my health better. I have a huge amount of weight to lose and I want excited to get it off of me. How did your liquid diet go?

      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!
