When I started this journey I felt like I was losing a friend....food. but with a 65 lbs loss almost within 4 months my life has changed significantly !!I The people at work are all in awe with the new me, I can actually sit on the floor with my students and get up without having to use a chair for help..I can walk 2miles at a fast pace w/o huffing and puffing,,AND BEST OF ALL , I AM NOW IN WONDERLAND! I haven't seen these numbers in over 20years! Yes, I miss food a bit, but the pros out weigh the cons and I am never going back, food is no longer important. I love dressing up each morning for work. hang in there life only gets better each day! if you can't shake the sad feelings talk to your dr. Our doctor puts all his patients on anti depressants for 6 months.

      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.

      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!
