Same here about the hubby. I had to watch a video last night, it was a Bariatric surgery class from the hospital I’ll be having it done at...the whole time we’re watching it, he was breathing heavy...rubbing his face...looking all worried lol...I’m hoping his nerves calm down a lot before then or it’ll make my anxiety higher. He wants what’s best for me and has been on board since it’s something that I want...but I wish he would see it has a ‘need’ not a ‘want’...I’ve been heavy most of my life. I have an almost 7 year old that I want to be able to do things with instead of sitting on the sidelines watching her dad do everything.

Yes! I feel you on that. My hubby also says dumb things like he doesn't want my body to be mismatched or for me to have a big head. I told him that losing this weight and gaining confidence is more important to me than anything. I have also been big for most of my life. I have a countdown on my dry erase board here at work, 34 days till surgery!

      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!
