I have BCBS of Louisiana they don't cover the surgery I'm sure they will after I pay cash but I'm not going to worry about that. I'm ready now.

6 days into my pre-op diet and I am down 6 pounds. I have been given a pretty relaxed diet compared to several others I read about on here. the main concept is clean eating, high Protein, low carb, low calorie. This is how we should probably all eat anyway right? anyway, the diet is going great so far. I haven't felt too much hunger, nor have I been really tempted with anything sinful. I want to get my liver to a nice comfortable size so my surgery is a lot easier on my surgeon. The easier it is for her, I assume, the easier it will be for me on my recovery. I need to get out of reading in the pre-op diet forum and get over into the post-op diet forum and start getting ready for my big date on the 10th of Sept. Oh, I am so ready to be healthy, active, thin, energetic!!!

      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!
