You will still have some surgery swelling going on. I had my surgery on 12/04/12 and I am just now noticing how much looser my clothes are becoming. I took measurements before surgery and just checked my measurements yesterday and lost two inches in all areas except for hips where I lost 4 inches. I would rather not step on the scale because too many things can interfere with weight day-to-day, and I don't need that stress. I am satisfied to feel health improvements and notice changes in other ways. Continued success to you, we are the masters of this terrific tool called surgery. Use it wisely and it won't disappoint. I have to avoid carbs because I was diabetic going into this and am no longer taking any diabetic meds now. Carbs will continue to wreak havoc on my overall success and so I avoid them. Can't wait to add fruits (my sugar of choice) to my diet and just recently started an exercise program..... Congrats, and keep your chin up, it will all fall into place, just stay to your program!

I was so swollen it took me three weeks to get into my pre op pants. I actually went up two sizes. It will start going soon. Then you will wish you didnt have to keep trying different sizes.

I'm thinking I'm still swollen...my belly is still a little tender to touch... I can tell that I've lost weight from the top of my belly... I'm only 10 days out...

That is normal. Mine was for almost three weeks but I had a second surgery.

      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!
