New to the forum and 6 days post surg....



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

This is my first post. I am 6 days outta surgery. 23 lbs down. Also just out of a 2 yr relationship the same week as surgery.... but I'm having a great post-op experience. I have cramped once, and just have a little bout of hiccups every so often. Other than that I'm slowly getting back up and at 'em. The past week has been a blur with everything going on but I am totally focusing on myself. I can see results already so that makes me feel good. My surgery center here in Dallas has been amazing with everything, from total quality care to great insurance advocates. I was only out $256, this whole ride. It's been great since I started this back in January.

How's everyone else doing?

WOW, a happy camper right after surgery! Good for you. Sorry to hear about your relationship ending. Follow the suggestions from your doctor and dietitian and you should do fine.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
