I can be your buddy. I'm beginning also I'm going to my pcp Thursday to get her to write my letter to the surgeon that says she is ok with the surgery. I kinda went with it backwards I met with a surgeon before consulting my pcp. After that I'm starting to schedule all of my test that's required ( psych etc).

I have just started also, I've been to my 2nd appt already. I have an appt with pcp to get my letter end of August along with my appt with cardiologist, echo, and stress tests. I still need to go see my endocrinologist, I guess to get his ok on my decision. I also have my appt for X-ray the end oh this month. Since I work mon- fri I always try to make a marothon of appts in one day. It seems to work for me since it's a huge medical practice. But let buddy up cuz we all need help gettin started ???„

      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!
