Hello!!

I am on the last of my pre-qual visits and then the doc will submit for approval so I'm looking towards the end of September, hopefully.

Would love to chat with local people! Let's help each other through this!!

Best to All,

Terri

Both of your surgeries are soon! How exciting...how are you feeling about it? I was home today organizing my Bariatric folder and it's hitting me that I'm really making this huge change in my life and it's kinda freaked me out.

Hi Zally, hope you're good! You lost 8 pounds!!! Awesome, how'd you do that? I'm on a Keto diet so no carbs and Im doing it as 'directed' but it doesn't feel like im losing anything :( how are you losing...?

I have just cut my calories. I am using Protein Shakes and eating small portions. I am hungry but I hope after surgery that I won't be. I also didn't feel that I was losing anything until I stepped on the scale.

      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!
