After having my bypass on june 11 and emergency surgery due to internal bleeding from blood thinners on june 13 i am finally out of the hospital and on my road to recovery! Feeling upbeat and ready to pursue my new life! Craving solid foods so bad tho! Lol i also stepped on the scale thinking i would be down after eating nothing for over a week but i ended up being up 14lbs from the day i went into surgery?! So bizarre!

That's just hospital fluids. It's not a real weight gain. I'm glad ur doing better and out of the hospital

After my surgery I weighed 13lbs more. After a week I was down to pre-surgery weight and the real losing started. Give it a week or so and you'll see a difference. :-)

      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!
