You prolly should consult your Dr cause everyones Dr have different opinions about drinking you might have different answers when ppl respond some ppl say their doc say never some say three months or even six months that's why I say ask your doc good luck on getting the info

They recommend no alcohol for a year, at least my Dr. does. Don't bother me though, I was never a big drinker.

1 year for me. I am sticking to it. There's nothing that I can drink or put in my mouth that means more to me that hitting my goal and being healthy.

Went to my 6 wk appt this week. My doc said I have no restrictions. Stay away from soft drinks bec they are bad for you. Beer is fine just remember it is empty calories. The carbonation may make you feel gassy but it isn't going to hurt you.

      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!
