For me, it was a bunch of measurements and a discussion with the doctor to see if this might work for me. I had to fill out a medical questionaire in advance--you might have to on the day of--so they could see if I had medical conditions that would either qualify or disqualify me. There wasn't anything to be nervous about. Just be honest. If you're not, they can't determine if the surgery will be right for you or if there are other pieces you have to work on before you have it. Everyone has different insurance and requirements. Once of the things you can do if you're really nervous is call your insurance company and see what THEIR requirements will be so you can make sure you discuss them with your doctor. If you cover those bases, it will be easier for them to help you get qualified for the insurance. I'm 2 months post surgery, down 30.5 pounds, feeling great and for the first time in 4+ years not nervous about sitting in the airplane seat I have to sit in on Sunday for a flight to LA. Channel the nerves, if you can, to excitement! Good luck!

GOODNESS GRACIOUS! 9 PAGES. I feel yer pain! I'll say a little prayer for you. Might not hurt if you do the same. YOU will be fine. They make money helping folk out, not sending them home. Youve just got tot shake it off. Take some good brisk walks. Do a food menu,or diet for a week or two and even pre-pack as you can to take yer mind off of it. Do ANYTHING to get your mind off of it.Keep posting here to for reassurance! Hang tough. You will need to be strong for all to come! Good Luck! Sincerely, Sandy

PS. A little note to Ms Chicago. Great job! Keep up the fine work, and feeling good about yourself! Sandy

      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!
