Don't do this. Don't look for the complications hon. We're all different. Work harder on making damn sure you pick the right facility out of country...cuz that's gonna be more important!!

I agree! Focus on being mentally prepared, being positive, and finding the right surgeon. Extremely rare to have to go "back under the knife." You've got this!

I had zero complications. But I was careful about which surgeon and which facility I chose and that made all the difference. So your question would elicit different answers from different individuals because everybody is different, has different health issues to start with, etc.

If you listened to all the horror stories about childbirth when you were trying to decide to get pregnant, you would never have a baby! Same with WLS. Everyone with a story wants and needs to share it, but don't go looking for the worst case scenarios without realizing there are multiple more without any problems.

      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.

      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!
