I just had my first appt with my surgeon. We talked, he listened to my insides and the ball started rolling. My education class is scheduled for the 18th, dietician appt set for Oct 4, waiting on call from psych and cardiology for appt. And that's it. I'm so excited that it has started now. I have to lose 15-20lbs before surgery so I'm starting pre op diet tomorrow. The best part is I have a goal surgery date of Oct 30th. She even penciled me in the calendar. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I think I want to cry (happy tears of course). I'm self paid so don't have wait on insurance but need to make sure I can get the money. Planning on refinancing my house. Asking for all the prayer I can get.

      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!
