<p>Wow, Niki just found and read this entire thread this morning. I just want to add my thoughts and prayers to everyone who is thinking about you and hoping (praying) that you get not only answers but some relief soon. I'm so sorry that you have been through all of this, and really glad you have the support of your family and friends. (And Lisa I'm sending you the same prayers, hoping you get some answers to your struggles as well.)</p>

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughts...I really appreciate it! I'm hoping that Tuesday will bring some answers and relief! I will keep you posted!

Surgery tomorrow morning. Had adrenal stimulation test this morning but no results yet. I guess I have to wait and find out if my endo doctor ordered them for my surgeon already. I'm nervous and anxious...more this time than ever before. There's something about that word "exploratory" surgery that I just can't shake. :(. Talk to you all in the other side...surgery is at 10 am.

Great news all! They found a kink In my small intestine and fixed it! Pain right now from surgery but no more pain after that! Yay me!!! I'm so excited that they finally found what was wrong with me and repaired it!!!

On the flip side, still don't know about the Addison's disease but I have another appt with the endo doctor next week so I will find out! My bp is really low here in the hospital 84/42...they gave me steroids and a bolus to help with that.

So a night here in the hospital and we'll go from here! Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!

      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!
