Lise-

So excited for you. I too am in Seattle, going through Dr. Oh in Federal Way (work in Seattle, live in Puyallup). I'm tentatively about a month behind you in the process. I hope it's going well and you are well on your way into recovery by now!!

I will be thinking about you!!! I sure hope all goes as planned. I am being banded 3/13 and starting to be concerned about the 2 or 3 weeks afterwards and how I will do. I hope to go back to work in a week. Those of you who have gone through this, is this possible? I have a desk job but I am 64 years old so my age has me worried a bit. I am getting mine done in Evansville, Indiana which is about 20 minutes from where I live.

      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!
