Yep. I guess they possibly they figure that if you bring the information you are truly interested??? It was definitely work but has been worth it so far.

no it wasn't scary. ive been doing alot of research and about 11 co workers have all had the procedure done by the same doctor that im having which is the one that put on the seminar. so I was comfortable going in.

I look forward to going onto my next step. the doc gave us a folder of info and an outline of what we have to do. it's bout a 3 month process before we get a surgery date. which right now is good for me cause I have to wait for my short term disability to go in effect at work so I can take time off and still get paid. that goes in effect in january. so in the meantime I can do everything the doc needs to be done.

I am glad you have a positive attitude about the timing process to me that seems the hardest part.

kinda forced to since my short term disability doesn't go into effect til january. but my boyfriend has always told me go about things day by day. this will be a whole new learning experience to take better care of myself and my son as well. my son at the age 10 has been on this journey with me with the eating healthy and going for walks with me. he's a trooper.

That is very wise advise. It is a neat feeling when everyone in the house is supporting you.

nah it's only my son that is being supportive in the house. obviously my boyfriend is as well but he doesn't live here. maybe one day I will go that route of living with him. who knows. I'm in no hurry for anything.

      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!
