I am in the waiting room at Emory Hospital-Atlanta. I am so hungry! Will be in the best sleep ever in a little while. I'm anxious about this. I have had mult abdominal surgeries and was never really nervous. I had an illness a yr. ago and was in the hospital. I was coded because I went into renal & respiratory failure. That worries me now, but more than anything, my oldest daughter is pregnant with our first grand baby, a boy. That has been the center of my thoughts for the last few months. Will check in afterwards. Good luck and prayers for me, please!

I had my surgery Tues 2/21. Went home late Friday night. Back in under urgent admit Saturday. Congestive heart failure with pneumonitis! I began hallucinating couldn't catch my breath and in unbearable pain because I was unable to take pill or liquid meds and unable to keep an ice chip down. Mon. 27. I want to feel good again. I know this was an informed decision. I have worked in health field for my entire life. Not sure what I could have done differently. I probably won't post again for a while.

      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!
