I'm hoping for March! I do my scope tomorrow and that's my last step before it gets sent in for approval!

I got approved and my official surgery date is March 17th. Anyone else for March?

That's St. Patrick's Day! I hope they give you a green hospital gown to wear.

I’m also hoping for March - I still have my final weigh in on March 1st but approvals seem to go fast through my insurance and my surgeon seems to be booking rather quickly, covid permitting.
I am a teacher so I am hoping to get it done right before spring break so I can recover during that week.

Me too! Well - librarian these days, but I'm hoping for the 5th so that I can have the week before and the week of spring break for recovery. Good Luck!!

      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!
