Aside from setting my wedding date, this was probably the most exciting date I have ever set in my life! My surgery date is June 15th and I am thrilled. For the last 10 years I have put on an average of ten pounds a year. I feel like garbage and I am exhausted all the time.

I am a 6th grade teacher and so I scheduled my surgery for the first Monday we are out of school. My husband is very supportive, my mother is terrified and 99% of my friends are very supporttive. I have one friend who is less than thrilled I am choosing to have this surgery. This is also my friend who I have yo-yo dieted with since we were 13. She has struggled with her weight all of her life as well. Either way I am excited to start this journey and share my experiences with all of you! Looking forward to learning lots and lots!

      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!
