Hi Sandi in FL, Yes, I am also at Mi hospital. And the Marriott Hotel. Our paths will certainly cross there.

I look forward to meeting you.

stacyfae, I had my surgery on the 5th as well. I can't say I am struggling with the Protein Shakes, but I have been experiencing "head" hunger. At these times I have to find something else to do--walk a bit outside, watch a movie--stay away from commercial TV since there are so many food commercials, read a book, write in a journal. Our tummies need to heal. And unfortunately the reasons we are overweight do not go away with the surgery--it is going to be tough at times--we need to find new ways to deal with life. Keep on plugging away and you will overcome the wants --- onward to success!!

I had my surgery on 8/6 and my experience was nothing but awesome! God blessed me with the best surgeon, nurses, and hospital staff ever! The pain was minimal and I am still sore but totally worth it. I think the most pain came from the gas. I am recovering at home with the most supportive family which makes.my experience all the better. I would do this over in a heartbeat! Now just waiting out the slow but sure outcome!

Just got home from the hospital. A 5 night stay as opposed to the 2 day that was promised. Just wanted to update everyone who has wished me well. Speak to your surgeons about nausea and what can be done to avoid it.5 unbearable days in the hospital has me regretting this.

Best of luck to those of you heading towards the lovers bench...

      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!
