Hiya all of you out there, re my previous posts, well today I bit the bullet and went to see my G.P. she has given me a referral to see another surgeon regarding fills, I did not see the point of seeing my original surgeon as he had told me there would be no fills, so tomorrow I will ring for an appointment with the new guy,

Hey Wheeler, I have an appointment with another Dr, I am scared and excited, scared in case he chucks me out of his surgery and tells me to get on with it, and excited because hopefully I am going to get some fills !!

I have been on the other site you mentioned. I wish I had access to the net before I had my surgery last year, I would have been better prepared.

See ya Janie

      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!
