Here's an update for me. Had surgery late Saturday evening. The first day I was in a good amount of pain and nauseous. Now I only take pain meds if I need them, which I still do because of gas pains. Those have been the worst so far. I'm trying to get my fluids in. Drink whenever I am not sleeping and walk around my block a few times a day. I'm not ready for work, but have until the 19th and hope I'll be great by then. Everyday gets a little better!! I'm not weighing myself until my dr appts.

Hey August 1sters - how are we all doing?

Had drainage tube out yesterday and feeling 100% better (strange feeling getting that pulled out).

Going back to work next week - desk job so no major lifting.

The doctor removed mine and did a local around the site and then sent some down the tube to numb the area and the diaphragm . I've heard without it that it produces quite the scream :)

So far down 10 (total 20 with pre diet).

It's my choice to go back - I own the company :). Will probably start off 4 hours a day and build up during the week.

Only seem to have gas issues in the morning - oh and when I drink too fast.

I keep asking my husband I let me smell his food :) he thinks I'm nuts but I am looking forward to "tasting" omething other than chocolate, vanilla or chicken broth !

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
