I haven't written for a few .on the due to some issues. I almost died passed on 2 weeks ago due to intestines and absorption issues. I guess when we get gassy we have to be very careful because our intestines can rupture. I thought looking 6-7 pregnant sometimes was normal, just had to pass it. Lol. They are trying to give me banana bags monthly, also an IV cocktail. To help, the first banana bag was ok but I was in so much pain and out I couldn't tell, the second one I wanted to get up and wonder around but since my body was healing I had to sit often. I stayed home for, 4 days trying to care for myself. Then I was admitted for 2.5 days and close to death. So now ER ASAP with pouch and intestines. I was 258, now between 132 -136.

      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!
