We sure do!! My name's Mandy, I'll be having surgery Friday in Houston! I think I might be getting the sleeve though. Last I spoke to my surgeon, he told me to think about switching since I'm currently low in Iron.< /p>

I won't get the time until Wednesday after 5:00. I go Wednesday to sign consent forms. Read them over- it is pretty scary but I feel like it is what I need to do. What time do you guys go?

I threw up this morning after taking a potassium ground up into a spoon full of sugar free chocolate pudding. Sitting here hoping I did not do any damage to my stomach. I am not going to re-take it, I will wait until my next dose and try again. I see the doctor tomorrow for a follow up. Hope things are improving for you. My nutritionist said it would be difficult reaching the Water and the Protein goals and not to worry too much just keep sipping!

Saw my surgeon for follow up appointment. The requirements are nearly impossible to meet the first few weeks. His advice was stay hydrated, take all of your prescriptions and try getting your Protein. Do the best you can but don't worry. It gets better. How are you feeling? I am more hopeful. Still some discomfort but better each day. Hope you are well!

      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!
