Congratulations Paula on your upcoming surgery! I've found this place to be very informative and encouraging and I'm sure you'll find it the same. Good luck on your liquid diet...it'll be over before you know it.

Hi there,

I'm new to this site as well AND my surgery is scheduled for Nov. 17th as well. I wonder if we have the same surgeon since you are in BayCity and I'm in Midland... will be great to go through this journey with someone and so close... My surgeon is Dr. Mark Pleatman in Mich...

hi Paula.. just answered your post a moment ago.. realized we must not have the same surgeon.. mine does not require liquid diet... going for nutritional class on the 11th and pre-surgical appointment but other than that no diet.. am starting to wonder if I'm the only one? Still we are having surgery on the same day and will be great to follow each others stories!

Hi all,

my big day is Nov. 19th with Dr. Aceves...Because i have a BMI of 38 he has only suggested a low carb diet for the week prior. I guess every situation is different due to surgeon and starting weight!

I cant wait!

      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!
