Nope. The psych has been out on maternity leave so I haven't had that eval yet. I've done everything else so I should have the surgery by November. You?

Congrats tsdor, as ashmartin says there is alot to do before they do surgery. Who is doing your surgery? I myself am just starting the journey, and as of right now probably looking at April or may for my surgery. Good luck

Dr Eichhorn with GHS. I have in 8 support classes already, saw Dietitian and Psychiatrist and already had EGD. It is going a lot faster for me than some because I am self pay, no insurance hoops to jump through. It seems insurance is the hold up for many people doing this. I am nervous about the month long Optifast diet.

      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!
