I heard Effexor XL works, does that help you sleep as well? There's a few meds out there that I can't think of, one is elavil (spelling). I don't know, I could be wayy off. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably be feeling the same way. 3 surgeries is alot. I've only had 2 surgeries, c-section in 2002 and lapband 2006 and those were stressful enough. I empathize with you. You need a mini vacation before all these surgeries.

Well found out today that I will have hernia surgery on Friday! Yea!... I guess.:phanvan

Doing well with my band. Have absolutely no restriction any more, but that is ok. I just keep drinking my Soups.

And I am going to sing the praises of low carb everywhere on the board now. It really has helped me to eat less in this stage of the game.

Please send me good thoughts on Friday... and maybe a prayer or two. I feel like I am playing Russian Roulette going under so many times this year.

:love:

      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.

      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!
