It went super quick! Only took 3 months for all my appointments and insurance approval; but I was busting a$$ fitting in every little appointment haha

I'm kinda nervous just because it came so quickly and it took me off guard.

lol yeah, something always happens where I have to reschedule appointments and appointments are always at last a month apart... extremele frustrating but I know it'll give me time to work out and lose these 20 lbs.. I'm excited about hearing about what happens after surgery so keep me posted

I usually have no problem either!! But because when you have surgery they blow you up with gas it's a bit harder since the gas isn't actually in your stomach, getting frustrating and the gas pain in sore

I'm 26; fighting my way through this process; I'm pre op; but if u every wanna talk; u can message me; I have 4 nutritional visits remaining then I'm done; I see that a lot of ppl have to lose weight for insurance approval; I'm the exact opposite; I'm encouraged to not lose any weight; because insurance may deny my claim; if u don't mind those who have to lose weight what insurance do you have?

I have kaiser insurance and the reason I have to lose weight is so that my dr has more room to see ... They showed us videos and the stomach fat makes it too crowded in there lol

I'm 27. I appreciate everyone referring to ourselves as "youngsters" because 30 is creeping up on me and I feel anything but young. Haha.

I had the surgery back in January and its 100% the best decision I ever made. Good luck with your process and keep us posted! Feel free to add me as a friend or message me if you have any questions. It's only been 6 months since surgery but I can assure you I have been through it ALL. Haha.

      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!
