Do you think I'd be okay to go to Vegas a month after the surgery? The trip is already paid for and it's for my best friends birthday but I'm wondering if I'll be able to handle it? All the walking and what not.

Yes! Go to Vegas!! I felt great at one month. It will be an entirely NEW experience because you will have to be more structured in your food choices. You'll be drinking Water instead of anything more fun too....But you can learn to eat out on this program. It's not that difficult. Take some Protein Shakes to pull you through the tough times! No buffets...that would be a big waste of money. YOu won't believe how much you CAN'T eat!! Have fun.

I had planned on a vacation for mid-May, with my projected surgery happening in early-mid April. I decided this weekend to postpone the vacation because I don't know if I'll be completely healed in time. Plus, there will be swimming and lots of food and I don't see being allowed to swim with the incisions not healed yet...and I don't want to jepordize eating something that may make me sick. I haven't paid for the vacation yet, so it's easy for me to postpone it (although I was REALLY looking forward to vacationing soon!) But since you've already paid for it, I would still go. You just have to be mindful of what you eat. I know a lot of people on here are still on puree's a 4 weeks out. All of the walking should be good for you...just take short breaks. Good luck and have fun on your vacation! :)

You should feel fine to go but remember the difficulty drinking (especially alcohol) and food that you will have to endure. Its not gonna be a walk in the part but it will be fun to be outside and experiencing Vegas if you haven't been already. Just remember, its not gonna be the same trip as it would be pre-op obviously.

As long as you are prepared with Protein drinks' date=' pre-planning for your food choices and the knowledge that drinking might be out of the question. (You can be the designated photographer.) Have fun![/quote']

I'm not a very big drinker anyways so being the designated photographer shouldn't be too hard! Thanks for replying (:

      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!
