My time is winding down my surgery is Wednesday getting closer and I’m nervous . I’m still struggling with some depression and I couldn’t be my emotions but I believe I’ve done all I could about my weight on my own. I’ve always been heavy even though people try to excuse it because I look good (not trying to toot my own horn) but people always says that it was okay for me to be big because I’m not ugly but besides that the sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and asthma has taken over my life. I’ve gather some great tips from this website and YouTube and I just pray that I make it with out any complications..I choose not to tell my parents or any of my friends because I can’t handle the excuse or negativity I just can’t anymore I’m feeling a little guilty as well but I’ll get over it

I can really relate to your story, thanks for sharing it. Best wishes today during and after surgery. I live in Florida too, where are you getting your surgery done?

@Boujee Susie, did I remember right? You had your surgery on July 18th ? 23 pounds is very respectable, hope I do so well after mine!

      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!
