Recommended Posts

I am so excited and so nervous! Have to be in Dallas by 5:30 am. I live over an hour away so that means I will be getting up very early.

Please pray all goes well! I've lost 13# this last week doing the lowcarb and liquid thing.

Looking forward to losing a lot more!!!

Doing good. Am home now. My surgery didn't happen till after 10 am. There was an emergency surgery that had to be done before mine.

Anyways - all is well. I have a little pain pump hanging around my neck for the incisions. It somehow just gives the right amount right to the cuts and when the little ball gets empty (they say a few days) I take it out and throw it away. Weird!!

The only pain I am in is gas pains and it's pretty much kicking my bootie!!

Michelle praying all went well with you and your surgery today!!!

I used Dr. Wade Barker and love him.

I am in terrible pain today. Either this pump ain't working or this gas is still killing me. I don't know what it is. I hate the liquid pain meds they gave me, probably should take it to help but it tastes HORRIBLE and also it makes me feel funny. I hate feeling out of it. KWIM?

Still very gassy and hurting... not as bad with the pain meds now though. I am just forcing myself to take them no batter how bad the taste is.

      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!
