I had my surgery back in July and everything went perfect, 1 night stay at hospital, only took pain meds for 2 day after i got home just to sleep and back to work 1 week after. I have no issue, no dumping etc.. the only thing is that everything at the beginning taste different. I purchase a ton of sugar free puddings, Jello, popsicles amd even the Vitamins and could and still can not stand them to sweet for me. Good luck message me if you have any questions

That’s great to hear from some who can relate to the same dr. I’ve heard good things about dr. Matei. I will be sending my papers in for approval next week let’s see how all goes. How much have you lost so far?

In total so far 37 pounds I am a slow loser but I am ok with that. I eat small meals about 4oz and that's it. but I have had chocolate and no dumping. The only restriction is I get full quickly, so at this time I only eat Protein. Good luck, keep me updated and if you have any question I am here.

I could lose more, need to start doing exercise. But I am at the stall everyone talks about. The good think no more high blood pressure meds, and feeling great. You are in good hands, the hard part is getting ready for surgery, and nerves. But after that it has been great. Good luck.

      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!
