Hello everyone. I just came across this site and it is so informative. Thank you all for the info. I'm scheduled to have my bypass surgery on April 23, 2012. I'm excited and scared at the same time. My surgeon and therapist says that's normal. I have thought about this for 2 years. I finally decided it was time. My health issues really persuaded me to go through with it. I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure and asthma. My current weight is 297 pounds. Thanks again and I will keep updating.

Yep I agree my dr said its completely normal to be scared and he actually told me if I was 100% ready and I could tell him I wanted surgery that day he said he wouldn't do my surgery because being scared, anxious, nervous those are all normal for going through a huge surgery like this!

      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.

      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!
