Hey, me, too. I'm not as excited as you are. I thought I would be bouncing off the walls but, instead just find it difficult to focus on the everyday stuff and keep my 'secret'. Wondering why I'm not sharing with everyone. Reading some of the latest horror stories and hoping for better results. Knowing I can't do anything different at this point unless someone will kidnap me and wire my jaws shut for 8 weeks....

I do believe I've reached the end of my rope. Either I do this surgery or I resolve to live a life of consequences of obesity.

Going for surgery and different living.

Good luck to you.

(Post OP)

I started walking in the mall everyday after surgery. It help me recover quickly. Drink plenty of fluids!!!!!! Protein Shakes are really difficult after surgery. I have bought Protein broths, drinks, gatorade with protein, and greek yogurt with 2X's the protein. I feel like a million bucks

      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!
