Stalked Your Posts/Researched to No End! I'M DOING IT...3/29



Recommended Posts

I am new as a member to this forum, but I have been reading your posts anonymously for months. I am so grateful for this site. I was out of options and then I found this. I was so confident in my research and the stories here that I booked with Dr. Garcia and will have the sleeve done on 3/29. Just want to say that I am happy I found this site and will share my story for it to benefit someone as your stories have helped me tremendously. :)

Cool, I've always wanted my own stalker! I'm tired of sharing the one I have with my brother. :P

The best advice my parents ever gave me: Never talk to strangers, unless they offer you candy AND a ride.

Welcome stalker! :) Most of the people here are friendly, helpful and more than willing to offer up advice, give input and answer your questions. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

The idea of stalkers used to bother me until I realized that I am scarier than anyone who could be peering into my window. :ph34r: B)

Welcome!!!!! Hoping and praying that all goes well with you! :)

I stalked for several months before jumping in, also. I actually booked my surgery (Mexico, also, with a different dr) before I finally "came out." Lol

I am 8 weeks post op and have absolutely no regrets.

Good luck on your journey. :)

      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!
