Hi everyone!

I am in the middle of the process now, all the preop appointments. My surgery is scheduled for 4-2-07 and I can't wait. I had to plan it around spring break at work. I am nervous, but looking forward to turning 40 this summer, with a new lease on life. :clap2: I am hoping to hear from people who have had the surgery. So far, in the support group, it was all gastric bypass people. Thanks and I look forward to more talk!

Hi Kity! Congratulations on your surgery date. I had to go through all the tests and procedures before I got my date ( which is January 30th). Anyway, welcome to the site. It is full of great information and lots of support. Keep us posted. Gigi

Hey Kity...I'm in Redlands and hoping to do my surgery during spring break also...being a teacher, gotta plan these things. I'm waiting on insurance, so hopefully it'll work out. Keep in touch...I too am going to be 39 w/this surgery and hope things move upward.

      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!
