I have an Update on my progress; I had a team meeting yesterday with NP & had my Phys eval. I think it went very well, I guess I am NOT crazy for wanting theis surgery. They set my Medical Clearence appointment to be September 10th to go over all my workups. August will be one busy Month for me looks like.

That's great and good luck to you! I don't meet with the surgeon until mid September but I have met with the rest of the team already and I can't wait to go forward with this process.

Thanks for the replies Dreamin_again & Proudgrammy. Dreamin_again we should be close on our surgery dates. You will have keep me informed on your progress.

Proudgammy, I have done my researech and this is the right choice for me unless something comes out of the medical work-up later that may require a change. I do not see that as likely. I overheard one nurse tell the other refering to me " you will like him he is very organized and knows what he wants" yesterday.

Sorry but I guess that is the engineer in me. All things important requires a plan, and even complicated things when broken down in steps are made easy. So whats a little time and effort to get our just end results!

That's good news. Yes it does get very busy with the appointments. It's starting to slow down a little bit for me now. At least I don't have multiple appts in a week of even a day. Right now it's just one a week next few weeks. Keep us posted.

      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!
