Things are doing well. I'm still a little sore around the port area. I think I may have been doing too much bending, so Dr. Burry told me to take it easy for. A few more days. He said there was still too much swelling to tell if I messed up anything, but he said he should be able to tell when I go back for my first fill. By then he said the swelling would be gone. I see him again on Nov. 8th for my first fill. What I'm really looking forward to is mashed/puréed foods in 8 days. This liquid diet stuff is killing me, but the upside is I've lost 20#s in the last 3 weeks because of it.?

I guess it is, got my answer. I had my surgery about 4 years ago, it has gone well, except lately, I am having Hair loss problems. Seems it is from Vitamin deficiency, any comments, same symptoms? Does it come back with adequate vit replacement?

      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!
