Wow, best of luck to you. Sounds like you are ready. You really do need to be prepared and a lot of people do not realize that. You have to mentally be ready to let go of some bad habits from years and years. The tradeoff is so worth it! We are here, ask and we will comment and get you ready. My first advice is always measure NOW. There will be times when you do not feel like you are losing and you need to keep up wiht what your measurements are. It will be a huge help in the future. Trust me. Do it now and then every month on the same day, but onloy once a month! I kept a log and it wa awesome to have. Second DO EXACTLY WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS, do not cheat, do not fudge, do not try stuff unless the doctor tells you. They know what they are doing and it is what you pay them for so listen and follow. I promise nothing taste as good as your health feels. You will see! So let us hear back from you soon. Best of luck to you!!

Congratulations! I'm scheduled for May 11 and I am so excited. My family doesn't understand all the excitement. I think that's only something that

we understand. Let's keep in touch!

Waiting five years - what determination. I can only imagine how excited you must be. I just started on this website, so I just keep poking around, but there seems to be alot to be shared and learned. Good Luck to you. I'm scheduled for the 11th. Keep in touch.

      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!
