It's been about 2 1/2 months since my surgery. I've lost 53lbs (83lbs since Dec). I wish you the best of luck. The 1st week is tough and than it gets easier. Let us know how you're doing.

Best of luck to everyone going in the next few days. It's one of the best decisions you could've made for urself. At times u may feel regret or frustration, but it will just be a little hurdle. Once you start to see the progress it will all be worth it. Remember we didn't become overweight in a week, so we sure can't loose the weight in a few days. This is all a learning experience.

Well, I'm one day post op and am home. Things went well. Now just dealing with the pain. Its not overwhelming. I suspect it will be this way another 2-3 days. I'm happy the surgery part is over. Now I can get settled and concentrate on this next week, one day at a time. Thank you all for the encouraging words!

      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!
