I am in the single digits now! 9 days until my surgery!!! I am excited nervous and scared. I have cancelled 2 outings because I will be on the liquid diet and unsure how I would handle those situations! I am SO ready for this next phase of my life. I feel like I have a very bright future and my little 9 month old will one day say, who is that lady holding me?? Oh mommy that is you?? LOL!!!

I am SO glad I found this forum with such wonderful people!

Lynda - good luck, I'm seeing a surgeon today for my first consult so its exciting times. I am also worried about the pre op liquid diet as our life is sometimes hectic on the social front so timing for me will be something to fit in as well, but if I could I'd have it done tomorrow!!

Kabranda - good luck for your op....I'm feeling apprehensive for you already!!

Congrats! I am 11 days out and growing more nervous by the day. I am starting to have trouble sleeping with the anticipation of the surgery and preparing everyone at work for my time off. Things are so hectic!

      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!
