hello

I am not from the UK but I signed to this forum after founding it very helpful especially that I have many concerns about the surgery

My weight is 101 KG and my hight is 160 cm ,I am 23 year old and in my final year in the medical school , I have only one and half week ( 10 days ) vacation to do the surgery I still didn't call the doctor and make the appointment for the surgery .

but first I want to ask , after the surgery how many days did you need to be back to the active state that you were before the surgery ?

and for the ones who did the surgery years ago , did the surgery affect your performance on the work or the school ?

do you guys advise me to have the surgery ( if I am going to have it it is going to be at the end of September and I have to travell back to my city 2 das after the surgery ) ??

I am still confused and my mother is worried about my performance and the Vitamins loss !!

thank you in advcace

After the surgery you will experience some pretty good fatigue however your body should feel okay by day 10. I traveled back home 2 days after surgery and did fine. You can do the surgery but plan on some exhaustion and mental stress from giving up your friend (food). This does pass but it did take me about 9 weeks to feel like myself again. In addition after the surgery you might feel like you can't walk a straight line for a few weeks. I tripped over myself and walked silly for a week or two. If your schedule isn't to demanding you should be okay. Just keep up with your Vitamins every day! I am 1 year and 3 months post op and have lost 120 pounds and it was the best thing I ever did for myself! Best of luck to you!!

      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!
