Like everyone, I know what to expect, but what's my story gonna be... I guess we'll find out soon enough. Wish me luck cuz this is it!! Actually, I'll take a prayer or 2 also :-)

Thanks everyone! Just took a long bubble bath to relax and get my mind right. I hear you can have friends on here but I don't know how. I usually check in from my iPhone but when I wanna look at before/after pics for motivation I sign on using my laptop. I saw something about friends and following each other but don't remember where. This is a really cool app/site!

Well does anyone know why you're supposed to d/c Vitamins at least 7 days before surgery?? I got my Flintstone chewables yesterday and tried one-i was excited cuz i used to take them when i was a kid. I just read to not have vitamins the week before.

It probably promotes healing. I'm pretty sure that Vitamin C is good for healing. Besides, many people are low on D.

      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!
