You're about to have a nice nap. Here's hoping everything will go exactly to plan (I'm sure they will take good care of you). All the good stuff about having the excess weight off is now coming your way. I've decided to start planning my wardrobe to take my mind off the surgery.

I'm on the loser bench guys????. The nurse said I got out of surgery around 2:30 and was in and out of sleep all afternoon. I have absolutely no pain right now but earlier there was a lot of pressure in my chest. They did ECG just to make sure it was just gas which it was and gave me medication. I thank God and you guys for all the support you have been giving. Your words of advise and well wishes means so much to me. Here's to our healthier longer lives.

      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!
