I'm new here. My surgery date is June 26th and now it's all starting to hit me that this is real. This is really happening and I'm freaking out! I'm glad I found this forum and look forward to having support from those going through the same thing. I guess I just need assurance that all will be ok

Hi everything will be ok....there is no hunger after the surgery...it will be some pain from the incisions and extreme exhaustion from the anesthesia , but it is so worth it...it's a whole new life and a whole new way of looking at food...it doesn't taste the same which I think helps with not craving certain things anymore ... I just found this forum and I'm glad to finally be able to chat with real people , good luck

This is my first post & I'm new here too! I'm scheduled for June 20 which is now less than a week away. I've done massive amounts of research and consider myself completed educated on the procedure but I'm freaking out anyway. I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of not being hungry. I'm also very nervous about the surgery but excited too. Weird feeling but everytime I've taken a risk in life it always turned out to be for the best. Just keep beleiving in yourself and everything else will work out :)

      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!
