Thank you for sharing that you are scared! I was wondering if any one on here has moments of being scared.....this thread let me know I am not alone in the way I am feeling at times. Most of the time I am fine with it and I look forward to the change this will bring in my life but I do have my moments when I feel scared.

The night before my surgery I kept reminding myself of all the reasons why I'm doing it' date=' how long it took to get there, and all the hard work I put in. This reassurance self talk completely calmed my nerves, and I was so calm and collected. Even the nurses noticed. :) you will be great, sending prayers. Looking forward to all of your guys POST op updates!

That is the same thing my husband told me. : ) Thank you for the prayers had some hiccups but it will all be ok : )

How are you feeling? I am ok. Still feel like someone played hockey in my belly : ). Thinking of you and praying all is well

I'm doing as well as can be expected. Not only is this a major life change, but also it was my first surgery. My body feels really beat up, but it's my throat that is really killing me! It feels like they used their foot to shove the intubation tube in..lol. But other than that, all is well. How are you Deege?

      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?

        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.
