People have asked why I'm doing the surgery. Tonight I got proof that I'm making the right choice- my 10 yr old son (11 on Saturday) just ran inside and announced to me "mom I can't wait until you do all the fun things with me" I was distracted and asked what he meant and he told me that "so you can do anything with me that fun but without hurting!"

what can I say it made me happy that he is looking forward to being with me but breaks my heart over all I have already missed- and that he knows it!!

One more real motivation to keep me moving forward!!

Tomorrow at 730 is surgery - making my and my families dreams come true

Yes it went well. They found a small hernia and they fixed that too. As soon as nurse comes and unhooks me I will go on a little walk in room. Pain minimal at this point. Ate a popscicle and drinking some juice- no problems

Josee I'm doing pretty good! Been up walking twice now at 15 min each- pain is a bit more now but bearable- actually my back is hurting me the most and pain meds aren't helping that. This place is really nice- you were so right. Love the private room and the tv with the movies is great- not that I've watched much since I keep going to sleep. But nick the husband is enjoying watching and keeps him entertained

      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!
