I'm on my 3rd month out of 6 and I find myself struggling... My surgery will probably be around March or April timeframe. It feels like its so close, but so far away. Is anyone else struggling like I am?

Yeah... I'm doing alright, I'm probably feeling like this because of the holidays. I can't wait for my surgery. I met with my surgeon already and he's awesome! I just feel like I'm never going to get to month 6...

Mine is consecutive as well... I don't want any "hiccups". I think I'm worried about screwing this whole thing up. For the last 10 years its been diet after diet and one step forward 3 steps backward. I just worry...

Waiting has to be the hardest part, Doing another sleep study shouldn't slow anything down but you will probably be put on a C pap machine, and your Doc will want you to use it so as soon as you have the second test and get the machine start using it right away so that if he requires you to have been using it for a certain length of time you already have that time counting along with your six months. Also the sleep apnea diagnosis assists with insurance approval. Wishing you the best and truly understand the waiting and the effect it has on your nerves.

      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!
