I don't have a date yet, but I am really close. I have one more nutrition visit, only because my insurance changed the rules. Regardless, I find that I have such a spring in my step to know that I am getting help. The life line is there, I have a death grip on it and I am hanging out waiting to be pulled in. Reading as much as I can, gaining new friends and just excited as I can be. I feel like I did as a kid, waiting for camp to roll around. My bag was packed to weeks in advance and I was ready to go! I am ready to go and this process is so exciting that I can't wait until I have that spring in my step -- literally! :D

I hear you loud and clear. I have my third of three months nut visits next week and hope to get a surgery date soon. Good luck.

Yeah! It is exciting, the closer you get, isn't it?! :-)

I am finished with 4 out of 6 months required by my insurance. I've done all the classes (6 nutrition, 3 "my true body"), so I just have support group the end of June and July. I already completed the surgeon's meeting, the surgeon's nutrition class, and his support group...once I get official approval from insurance, things should move pretty quick...these months have actually flown by, to my surprise. I am hoping for late Sept/early Oct. for surgery... :-) I get more excited every day; I am so eager to start that next chapter!

Hope you get your surgery date soon!! :-)

      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!
