Sometimes as we go further along in the process we think we are experts... Some of the posts I see sometimes need to come with the following disclaimer... Please follow your doctors orders. I am not a medical expert. Please please please remember we all just share our own stories and experience. But your doctor is the best place to go when requiring any medical advice!!!!

Thank you for saying this! I read a lot of things here too that really need to be discussed with the Doctor before they make a change or do anything different. After reading so much it is easy to see that we all have different plans. And there is a reason our dr's have us on that plan.

Amen! I take some of these things to my doctor and he looks at me like I'm crazy and say just do what I tell you. (LOL) All of our docs are different people and have different beliefs and methods. ALWAYS the best place to go is the one who has your well being in his/her hand.

Very good advice. Our docs are the ones that have the most information regarding our specific case and should be our final sounding board before making any changes to our current plan.

      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!
