Congratulations and welcome to the forum! Let the fun begin. It will get fun when your pants start drooping and blouses fall off your shoulders. I just had fun taking a whole bag of clothes to goodwill. I did make sure to save my biggest pair. I want to be one of those ladies that can stick both legs in one pant leg. Can you imagine?!

Like any adventure though, there will be ups and downs. Nice thing is though, we'll be right here helping you through it. :D

Congrats & welcome!

You're right, this will be quite the journey. There will definitely be ups & downs, and it's a constant learning experience. I'm 4 months out tomorrow (and always learning something new).

Enjoy the ride!

      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!
