Welcome to the forum! I bet you're so excited! I still havent gotten a surgery date. Going through the pre op testing and supervised weight loss program. I finish that at the end of september and then they will submit to insurance. There is alot of info on tjis site and everyone is so willing to answer questions. In addition a history search will help you with info you are looking for! Where are you located?

It's a very short window where ur not urged to drink alcohol (cept beer, can't ever have that). I'm 5 weeks out and plan on enjoying a margarita now and then in the future. I'm not really into wine, but I'm sure it's fine, in moderation. You stomach is smaller now so be careful. You're liable to get tipsy faster!

My daughter came home last week to help me with surgery etc... She brought me three beautiful bottles of Sonoma County wines. I too wonder when I will get to taste my new wines but am figuring it will be awhile.

Welcome this is a great place for advice, to vent sometimes. The majority of us have been through the process and can advise you on what to expect in most cases. You will get sympathy, empathy, and sometimes tough love. Check in often and don't get discouraged or disgusted if your views are not shared by others. 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!
