...I have had to go in first week checkup, 3 week check up (due to being dehyrdrated the first week), 1 month, and now this coming week 2 month check up because I am still dehydrated...I do think it is a $$ racket for many dr/nut. I hope I won't have to go back til 6 months, but I bet they will tell me to come back for a 3 month check up...

My nut is very upset with me; I spent $100s on various shakes/powders - I just can't stomach them at all, so I am getting my Protein in by food & I'm not getting 70 grams every day. I told my nut I just couldn't keep up spending the $$$ on trying to find a shake - if I liked shakes, I would have never needed the surgery in the first place. She didn't like my answer, but I figured I better be honest with her. I am not getting in 64 oz Fluid, either, I really try, but it still becomes very uncomfortable. I broke her 'rules' - I use a straw to try to drink more so I am not dehydrated, but hasn't worked yet...so my nut is upset with my honesty. I think if I lied about the Protein & Water - she'd be happy.

My NUT is nice, so far! The only problem I have with her is she is about a size 0! It's hard to take someone seriously on food when she looks like she is anorexic!!

      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!
