When is your surgery? I just signed the papers yesterday myself and felt very panicked! I keep going back & forth with the decision and am sure I will continue until the moment theyre putting me under. Im confident we'll find the strength in the end...cant wait to look awesome!

I signed mine today , my signature was all crooked and weird.. we have to believe we are going through this process for the better for ourselves first, then our families.

Had my surgery on Monday and came home on Tuesday. Everything went very well, was off all pain meds by 11:00 pm night of surgery. The gas pains have been minimal for me (knock on wood) and have been eating (drinking, lol) without nausea. Stomach still a bit sore, kind of like I've done a thousand crunches and where the port is placed is the sorest but nothing that bad at all. I actually scheduled off the whole week from work but I may surprise everyone and go in on Friday. I know everyone is different but to me it has not been too bad at all.

I was banded and had gasric plication in May 2011. It was rough but would do it all over again for I feel so much better. I swam all summer but I need to exercise now. I can't wait for summer to swim again. I should join the health club and swim there. I may do that soon. I have lost 77lbs. since May. It has been an easy lose.

      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!
