Hi all- I'm new here, been on a weightloss/gain journey my entire life, and ready for this to be life changing and long term.

I've had major ups and downs with weight, in '08 I went to a weightloss dr in town and went from 206 to 136 in 5 months with exercise, strict food diet (from the dr), and serious determination. 3 years later I've gained it all back and weigh more then I started. Today I weigh 218. I'm waiting for insurance and have cleared all the other hoops. I'm excited to join you all here for long term better health!

The current picture is me in the KSU purple hoodie. At my lowest weight I was a Jazzercise instructor, until the weight came back on and I developed PF in both feet...

      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!
