just stumbled on the site, and am soooo happy to have found you all. i'm now 11 days until surgery, and am happy and nervous! was just telling my sister how i can feel determined that this is the right thing and feeling like it's too drastic all in the same thought. when i really know it's the right thing, i just want to eat something other than Protein shakes! but my presergery weight loss is going well, except getting all the Water down in a day. and i think i'm feeling its easier to do things, or maybe i'm more motivated.

anyway, glad to find you all. you ask great questions!

Welcome, I have been on this site for a month now, and have learned so much. I feel more comfortable with the surgery after reading so many of the posts on here. If you have any questions you have come to the right place. I'm still at the I don't know when I'm going to have my surgery stage, but am reading the posts, and becoming more familiar with the surgery every day. Good luck with your surgery.

      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!
