That's great news, Micki -- you're on your way and definitely have what it takes: commitment and perseverance. Let us know how everything goes! We will be new Bandits together in a way. Best wishes!

Bandista - how are you feeling? Did everything go as planned? Was thinking about you yesterday (I was under the assumption you had surgery yesterday) Hope all is well :)

Hi Jamilyme, doing well post-op day 3 -- sore left shoulder and minor abdominal pain, no pain meds other than Ibuprofen and Tylenol a few times a day. Slept through the night! Sipping liquids -- tea, juice, etc. Had half a Protein Shake yesterday (am on full liquids) and some broth. Not hungry at all but prepared should that come. In this for the long term! Just healing, not overdoing, watching movies, etc. Hope you're doing well -- happy Friday all!

      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!
