Omg my pre op is tomorrow morning. This just got really real!!! I have been pounding down the Water to pump up these tiny veins. Everyone say a little prayer that they don't have to stick me half a dozen times! I swear the thing that scares me most about this surgery are all these dang needles!!!

Welcome @@jolms , @@kiwi201000 , and @@Missy2new . This is the most supportive group! @@CHLOE12 I am going to be sending you tons of positive thoughts. I could not imagine doing this without support at home. Do you have people that live close that could come help you?

@@CHLOE12 I'm single, I live alone in Chicago where I take crowded buses and trains everyday, I love to go out to dinner and drinks. Every once in awhile, I freak out and think what if someone bumps my belly on the train and hurts my pouch?!? Silly things like that make me think WHAT AM I DOING?!? But then I remember how unhappy and unhealthy my weight has made me. We can do this!!!

      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!
