Hola!

This is a great forum and Welcome. You will find lots of information here quickly and all personal experiences from all. What better way is there than the experiences of others. WE tell it like it is and you have to take bits and pieces to tailor make it for yourself. Some bad, but mostly good is found here. I believe here on this forum, since all of us have gone through different health issues in our personal lives, there's NO dumb question. We are all learning from each other.

Have fun on this forum. Banded on Aug 6, 2012.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

Dr. DiCicco was my assisting surgeon. Do you see him in Zephyrhills? I saw them there a few times but will follow up in their office in Orlando. It's closer to Oviedo where I live. It is a small world! So how are you doing post op?

      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!
