Norther Virginia!

I have two more pre-op meeting with the dietician, but everything seems to be moving along fine. I keep expecting a speed bump but nothing yet. I'm nervous right but ready to get this over with and start living!

I am having revision surgery in N. VA too. I don't finish my NUT sessions until 8/15. Where r u having surgery?

I think it was one of the Drs. he use to partner with the practice split in late 2014. I believe it was Dr Moazzez. She spoke very highly of him.

Thank you! Is it just me or does this feel surreal?? I'm in Canada so it works a little different out here, I've been doing the program for 7 months now! Most people take a year plus, there is one lady who is on year 6 of program! So I'm happy they passed me off to the dr ☺️

Thank you Keejay, to you as well.

KrissieAnn you did good then. It's definitely surreal. Mine will be exactly eight month from my initial consultation. After all the requirements were meet and sent for approval, I was approved for surgery in 5 days instead of the 30 day turnaround I was told was the standard. So I was in disbelief at first.

      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!
