But how would we know if he did a "good job" if we aren't qualified FACS surgeons who are also members of the ASBS or more specifically, if we aren't a bariatric surgeon?

I haven't clicked on it yet (I'm assuming you mean the TOP row, 2nd from the left?), but am guessing it's a video of your surgery?

Thanks for posting the link, it was interesting to see how it is done. As for doing a good job, I don't know, I'm not an expert.

I'm one of the lucky ones....surgery on the 8th and back to work on the 11th.

I have had no pain or any other side effects from the surgery. No gas pain, even my stomach doesn't hurt. I have no problem drinking the clear fluids, I don't crave anything.

I still can't believe it and waiting for the pain to sneak up on me!

I've just always been very lucky on the healing side of life and I have a very low threshold for pain. I just did or didn't do everything they told me too.

I give a lot of credit to the Dr as I have very little black and blue, which means they took care when they were inside.

      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!
