Dream big..........



Recommended Posts

That is what I am, a big dreamer. When I found out I was going to get this surgery I tried out at our local community theater for a show. I have always loved to perform but the more weight I put on the more embarassed I would feel and wouldn't try out. Well I tried out and got one of the main roles. I was so excited and scared because I didn't want to look like me up there. I got the surgery and made a promise to myself to do whatever I could to lose at least 30 lbs by opening night. Well my friends, my show opens on Saturday and I am down 32ish pounds. I am so proud of myself!!!! :shades_smile: Think of me on Saturday and send me good vibes, I will need it. It starts at 7:30 pm EST so think of me then. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!:blink:

      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!
