ladies/gents, I started a group just for the August 13th group so we don't get lost in the shuffle. Right smack dab in the middle of the month -- we will get the experiences of those before us and can reassure those after us.

I am on day 4 of preop (okay, started a bit early) and of course got on the scale this am expecting miracles. NOPE. Think I am holding onto every drop of Water I can so that I can continue to dissolve into tears at the drop of a hat. (long story: involves grown children making the same mistakes I made 20 years ago, bad choices of partners, moving in with the drug seeking fool she is in love with and exposing the love of my life, my grandson, to the drug seeking fool). (can't tell I don't like the drug seeking fool much, can you? ). (she announced this on my birthday, yesterday.....after having a broken A/C for two months, broken Water heater yesterday, broken car, broken mower, etc......that was just the icing on the cake, so to speak!).

*sigh*, waiting for surgery in order to be knocked out and not think about broken stuff,

Well folks, I was an August 13th sleever. However, I've been in the hospital all week after finding out I have a large blood clot in my leg and some in my lungs as well. I won't be having my surgery after all. :/ I will need to be on blood thinners and have my blood counts routinely checked for at least the next six months. But I'm not giving up. I've lost 17.5 pounds so far and I will not let this bring me down. I believe it was God's way of telling me this wasn't the right path for me to take. This came out of nowhere and I am otherwise healthy so I am so thankful it was caught when it was, before very very bad things came of it. I wish all of you the very best, and hope to still keep in touch with y'all.

      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!
