Oh, girlfriend.....hang on! It may take 30 min, it could take longer, but once it kicks in, it will not stop for hours. I started mine about 11 a.m. and it finally stopped right about bedtime. I didn't have any issues the next morning.

I did this exactly one week ago with surgery on Friday at noon. I pray you have a wonderful nursing staff to take care of you, that your surgeon is as good as mine is, that they give you several small stitches to help alleviate scaring, and you are made as comfortable post-op as I was. Keep us posted on how it's going......GOOD LUCK!!!

I made thanksgiving dinner and am having a nice holiday with my kids and husband. My bag is packed and house is clean, I need to do a few dishes but other than that I am ready. So, I am just relaxing and getting a black Friday shopping list together for my husband! ;)

Miss Michi....my surgeon used staples inside (to close the sleeve) and stitches were used to close the sutures of the incisions where the laproscopic machine points were placed. Hopefully this will be the same for you.

I wish both you and Beetracy a peaceful sleep and keep the faith! Your surgical teams will take good care of you!

Good luck!!

      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?

        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.
