I have finally jumped through the last (omgoodness, I hope!) hoop and have been given my surgery date. I will be at Troy Beaumont with Dr. Deol.

Thank you for all the postings here---I think I have read all of them at least twice---trying to get a feel for what it will be like in bandland.

I am scared that like everything else, this too will not keep the weight off. I guess I will just have to face that nasty demon----fear---as I go through this process.

Thank you and wish me luck!!

Hi Greta!

I'm a patient of Dr. Deol as well! I'm hoping to get my surgery date next week.

I just added you to my buddy list! So exciting! I've heard only wonderful things about Dr. Deol and Troy Beaumont!

Keep in touch and take care!

Debra

Hi Debra,

Sounds like you and I will have close dates for surgery. Are you joining the support group that will meet at the Troy community Center? I think that the more we support each other the more successful we'll be!!

      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!
