Walking has been the best exercise for me so far, and probably will continue to be for a while. Oddly enough, when I don't feel well (read: bloated, too-full) walking seems to help move things along better too. I don't know of any products that would help with loose skin, nor am I in the market to find any. The propensity for skin to sag is based on a number of things, none of which a drugstore cream can help. :)

A few months after surgery, the skin on my face became very wrinkled with fine thin cracks. I looked like I was 100 years old. My wife suggested I use a product called Bio-Oil available at CVS Pharmacy. I used it and the wrinkles went away. I have been using it for a year now and well pleased with it.

For the first 4 months after surgery I just stuck to walking. Recently I joined a gym and started working out with a trainer and I'm doing pretty much everything. Hopefully with the added exercise I be able to tone as I lose some more.

Best of luck!!

I hated it at first. It took me almost 3 months to get into a routine. Now I go to the gym 4 days a week. But I still mostly just walk. I run some, and I do some weights. The skin thing just sucks. My arms are toned on top. I have serious muscle but I still have bat wings. Some people are lucky and snap back, I haven't yet but I'm sill proud of the guns.

      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!
