Recommended Posts

It's been a VERY LONG 3 years back and forth with insurance, but finally it's almost here. I'm nervous, yet anxious and all sorts of other feelings. Actually think i'm ready??? Ready or not, here it comes!:thumbup:

believe all who respond positive, it is worth the wait and all will be just fine, my hubby was with me and i myself was telling him i couldn't believe it was the day, after waiting 1 year because of my bp problems, i was only down for one and one half days and that was the day of and after. i'm now moving around like it didn't occur, often doing something that will remind me good luck to you ALL WILL BE FINE :blush:

      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!
