Well WELCOME Nikki! I'm excited for you too! You are going to be so proud of yourself. In the beginning it's a bit of a challenge, meaning that you have to literally change your lifestyle overnight. . that is a bit tough, you have to relearn basically how to eat and drink. . but you know what we all did it and guess what? Once you "get it" your going to do so very well, like all of us.

Know that we are here for you. . for all your questions, for a shoulder to cry on, to rant and rave. . we are your cyberfamily, we understand, we've all been through it. . . so once again WELCOME and post away!:)

I am 7 months post op and Dr. Taller was my surgeon as well. He's super nice! Make sure you are strict with your Protein intake and overall liquid especially well in the hospital. And make sure u walk a lot! It all depends in how fast you are out of there. It's an experience I will never forget. Good luck! 2 more days for u! Keep us updated!

Hello everyone. I have been on here for a week and I love the support everyone is giving each other. I.am scheduled for June 10th with Dr. Tribetti here in new jersey. I here he is one of the best. It's being done at Hackensack hospital which is the absolute best. I am counting down the days to the road to a healthy life. I also can't wait to be able to go into a store and buy a pair of paints without them.saying "we don't carry your size but we can order them. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

      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!
