Hi All,

I've searched but haven't found anything related to my question. I feel at a loss with regard to what to take to Mexico. I am planning on taking Gas-X strips, but is there anything else? Do I need clothes while in the hospital? (Ok, probably not.)

I'm just looking for ideas or tips on what I might need that I haven't considered. Thanks.

In pre op forum there it's a "sticky" that has a really great list and people have added on to it. That would be a great place to start :)

Congrats. The things that helped me the most were chapstick, Charmaine or Cottonell Wipes, Decaff Peppermint Tea, hair brush, Truvia, Biotene and a comfortable soft fuzzy blanket from home. I didn't use my cell, my kindle, Shampoo, conditioner, I walked, sipped, slept. I made a decision after I got out of bed after surgery that i would sit in a chair instead of staying in bed, and I only went to bed at night. My big fluffy brown blanket, was a comfort. Cleaning lady came in my room and say oh look at the bear lol :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
