I could really use a supportive buddy...



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone....I could really use a mentor friend...I have had the VSG almost 6months ago...but feel that I dont have anyone I can talk to about my surgery...or feelings relating to my surgery...or just the changes that I am going through....feels like nobody really understands. I would really love a buddy or buddy's that I would be willing to email or Facebook. I would appreciate the support. :frown1:

Hey Jenn! I know what you mean about nobody other than those on this forum understanding. My family & friends are supportive, but don't really get it at the same time. Feel free to email me at randi.wedekind @ gmail . com. I have Facebook as well, but my settings are set to make me unfindable, so if you'd rather Facebook, just PM or email me your name. :)

      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!
