I had an EGD done two years ago when they found out I have celiac disease. I had an awful doctor who did not anesthetize me, freeze my throat or even give something like Valium to calm my nerves. Hands down, worst medical procedure of my life! I was very happy when my surgeon said that I didn't need another one. Oh, and immediately after the EGD, I had a colonoscopy performed. Same thing- no medications or anything. I'll never go back to that GI doctor ever again.[/quote

OMG you poor thing! That is outrageous.

@@Stacyann81 you can do it!!!!! Anytime you got a hunger pang just take a nice big chug! And all while you're doing it you'll be getting a tan and just think that is the last time you'll ever be a "big girl" on the beach!!!!!

Got on the scale this morning and I lost another 2 pounds. I am only 5 pounds away from my surgery day goal of 300. Only 26 days left until surgery. 19 days left until my pre-op appointment. Hope it goes by quickly!!

      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!
