I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone here for being kind and offering people support who are doing this. You have been a big help so far and I will probably need you again. (I had surgery Monday.)

I also would like to comment that it takes a tough human being to do this. This isn't for sissies. Whenever we face any issues with surgery and in life, we need to remember that we are strong and tough. That should give us the strength we need to pull through in any situation.

Congratulations on your life changing surgery.

You got that right sister! This surgery and the behavior modification we must go through to be successful is not for the faint of heart!

Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk as much as you can after surgery.

I wish you an uneventful trip down the "loser's" highway!

Blessings,

Kathleen

It takes a while to adjust. I believe those that compare it to a full time job! You've taken the steps to brave surgery, not an easy decision. Good for you! Congratulations!

I think that's a good analogy. It is like having a full-time job!

Thank 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.

        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!
