Hi Gardengirl, I would love to talk too! I'm also very new so still trying to navigate the site. I'm not sure how or if you can send personal messages, I would think you can somehow. This is a great forum with lot's of advice, support. Have you already got a firm date for your op? Oh my name is Joanne :-)

Awesome!! My dr office won't schedule my surgery until sleep study is complete. Insurance is approved though. Are you having surgery in Detroit?

My middle child is at camp outside of Detroit right now. Ortonville...going there next Friday to pick her up.

What kind of pre-op diet will you be facing?

Yes I'm having it in Detriot at St John. I have a 2-week liquid diet. Where abouts are u located?

I'm working with Dr. Foote, Grand Health Partners in Grand Rapids, MI. Waiting for my sleep study to be completed and then hopefully schedule a date at end of August. His assistant is not good at returning phone calls so I'm a little frustrated...

I am in Washington State, I have done everything just waiting for the aproval from the insurance. I am excited but very reserved at the same time. They had me do soo many tests it has been a long 8 months. I have been married for 18 years and have 5 children. I work from home and you are the first person I have talked to.

      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!
