Thanks Angela! You are the one who has done great! You will be at goal in no time. I appreciate all of your support and kind words ( and reading my private messages) throughout this entire ordeal.

Im still going to take you up on that lunch offer to souper salad when I am feeling up to it and you and both have time. I love your side of town, so I dont mind coming that way! I can make a mini trip out of it (since its like an hour or so away from where I am but you know thats Houston, everything is at least a 30-40 min drive anyway.

See you on the sleeved side of things.

Okay guys......

Just waking up. Ive showered only about 10-15 minutes before I leave. I woke up before my alarm clock (4:30 am). I woke up because my heart was pounding, I must having been thinking about the surgery in my sleep and or having an unconscious anxiety attack. Wow, that has never happened to me before, I almost felt asi f I were running a marathon and woke up right when I passed the finish line.

Anyway, I know that is my mind/nerves. I said my prayers last night and will say them again this morning.

The next time I post-----I will be sleeved.

Thanks for your prayers and help.

Shanda can't wait to hear how you're doing.

hope you have something you can stand to drink on your post op diet. That seems to be everyone's main problem after surgery.

Now the fun begins-watching the scale drop!

Congratulations!

      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!
