Hello everyone!

I finally got approved after working on this for 6 months. Alittle of my story. I have been big my whole life. In October I started this process. I got denied in February because I had gained weight.(My place never said I had to lose weight just had to show up to my appointments). So I appealed it and got approval, the letter came on May 19th. I scheduled my surgery fo June 9th. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I feel a big weight off of my shoulders.

Congratulation! I was excited and scared at the same time too. It went better than I thought so I guess I didn't need to be nervous but there is no way anybody could have convinced me otherwise before. You'll do fine and once the weight starts coming off you will be so glad you went through it all. :biggrin2:

      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!
