Congrats on making the decision to change your life! Your story is similar to mine. Work out like crazy only to play around with 10 lbs. for what seems like forever. I am towards the end of all of my pre op requirements and have a date of July2nd. I am ready but also very nervous. I just want to be on the other side, sitting on the loser's bench. It really helps hearing stories from sleeve veterans. Everyone is so helpful on this board!

I agreed I have been cyber stalking this forum and getting more understanding of the ups and downs... Scary but worth it. So congrats on your date! I should have all my paperwork done but Friday. Friday I go for my psychological evaluation and that is the last thing I do! But my surgeon is so booked I would have to wait till mid July or end of July! Which six bc I work weddings and need to recover before a couple weddings! :( so wanna date already! I have date envy!

      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!
