Mine was one hour of talking and a test that had 425 questions that took about two hours. All for them to tell me that I'm not bipolar, or narcissistic and I genuinely love my family. I could have told them that in five minutes. :)

Mine was a questionnaire I had to fill out before then an hour conversation. They are just trying to find out if you have any serious issues that would make the surgery less successful. I wouldn't worry about it. I was totally honest and I didn't have any issues.

Oh, and i am sticking with the gastric bypass. Not because it is better but because it is better for me. all surgies look great, but it is what you think will be good for you.

      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.

      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!
