Hi Marie,

You'll find tons of answers to your questions all over this forum- everyone has a different experience and story to tell. It's important to remember though that what works for one person might not work for you. I stayed in the hospital only one night, but have a friend who stayed for 3. I drink the Premier Protein shakes- she can't stand them. I've never had much of a problem with getting fluids down, while others take quite a while to retrain their bodies. As far as "what happens after surgery", there's tons of personal opinions and experiences for that too here- each surgeon has some different requirements, just as each body heals differently. Gathering information is very smart, bearing in mind that this is your journey to take. Keep us posted :)

I was in the hospital three days. Started sipping Water almost immediately. I make my own Protein Shakes with recipes from the bariatric foodie cookbook.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
