Was in another forum triying to see how the post op are doing so i did read a coment of a girls saying that she went to surgery and when she woke up from anesthesia was not sleeved!!! Reason: the Liver too big!!!!!!

This is one of my biggest fears!!!!

Sounds hard to believe, because if they couldn't do it laparoscopically, they'd just do it open, in which case the size of the liver doesn't matter. Unless she explicitly refused to sign consent for open surgery in case lap failed.

I wouldn't worry about that too much, I've only ever heard of it happening once or twice in all my various forums.

Don't be scared. It's just a doctor doing what is best for his patient.

      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!
