I am also focusing on the positive things to come to get me through the anxiety and fear. I was thinking about how great the beach will be when I am (hopefully) down 100 lbs this time next year! Give us an update on your surgery when you are feeling up to it. I am hoping for a pain free recovery for you tomorrow!

I'm doing well! Off of the pain meds right now and able to drink the Protein Shakes in tiny amounts. The burping from all of the air is not fun but I've found that walking certainly helps.
Can't wait to hear from others!




Glad to hear you are well! I go under tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. I don't expect to get much sleep tonight!

Well the recovery kind of sucked [emoji24] but I got through it. I have lost a total of 25 pounds and I wish I would have done a better preop diet so that I would be at 40 pounds down. It was hard for me to not want to eat my moms cooking but the surgery helped anytime I went to eat something it just came up. I am tired but happy overall. How are you doing

      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!
