Mine took 15 minutes, maybe 20, tough to remember but you get the idea. She asked me about my mental health and physical health and about the surgery. She asked WHY I wanted it because I didn't look like I needed it until I told her my BMI. I guess I carry my weight well. <shrug> She wanted to make sure I was doing this for me and that nobody else was making me do it or putting pressure on me to do it. She wanted to know what kind of support system I had etc. It went quickly for me because I do not have any history or mental illness or depression and do not take any meds and because it was clear it wasn't something I am reluctant about in the least. I have a good support system and am quite knowledgeable from reading these forums. I have already lost a good bit on my own without it being warranted. She wanted to know how I'd manage the 5 children post op. All in all, there were no red flags to discuss, so it went quickly. She actually seemed happy for me and was sort of congratulating me and told me straight up she was recommending me for the surgery and thought I'd be very successful. Use that to get an idea. It seems the questions she asked me are fairly typical, though you may have more to discuss than I did.

      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!
