Nope. My surgeon told me to lose at least 20 pounds pre-op. Period. No weight loss, no surgery. Never even discussed any kind of diet. Just lose the weight. Worked for me - I lost 35 pounds pre-op!!

Ugh...talk about waiting is exhausting! The whole time I've been aiming for surgery in December, because that'll be my last weigh-in...and now my patient advocate tells me I should exoect to have the surgery by January. She tells me insurance usually takes two weeks for a decision and usually a few weeks to get an appt. for surgery since my surgeon is very busy. No fair! I hate waiting. I can't imagine being stuck in this big, painful body till January 2013. Oh well though. At least there's a light at the end of the tunnel =\

I know love its rough. I love this forum but it does seem that since I signed up it is taking forever. I guess reading daily about this one having surgery that one getting out (which I am totally happy and support them) my impatient self is coming through LOL

I start my two week liquid diet on Monday- ugh! I went into kitchen today and boxed up everything in cabinets and whatever was not open in the fridge' date=' and gave to friends. I am gonna miss BACON![/quote']

Good luck! Eventually you will be able to have bacon. You just have to worry about the fat on it. I eat turkey bacon which has less fat and it is good.

      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!
