Welcome @weirdlittlefox . Best of luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery. Gotta say this forum is great all around... Support, concerns, both positive and negative post op experiences. A whole lot of information. Don't have so much to offer myself as I'm still pre op but have taken in a lot. Like you FB is not something I had ever joined until recently and really don't use it at all. I'm sure you'll like it here just fine.

@weirdlittlefox reach out to my bari-pal @Taoz for sustaining and advice if you like. She recently had a sleeve so is now a veteran and is also Australian. She can give you diet advice, knows what products and chemists are available, and will become the good chum to,you that she has become for me. There are also a couple people,in Canberra that come to mind. Lets see ther3care some active from Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania , and a very vocal group from New South Wales. Odd to me but recently,I've seen more Aussies than Canadians, my ❤ is world-wide, l enjoy making new bariatric friends . We all are engaged in this weight struggle no matter where we came from, I enjoy everyone's viewpoint. Just recently heard from someone in Singapore. Oh and I am not going to be a VSG but a RnY bypass, doesn't matter, I reach out to everyone. I liken it to the difference between Army and Navy, we are all allies in this grand weight war. It's 8 AM here which means it's 8 PM. down under , hope you had a beaut of a day!

      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!
