I loved your story, thank you for sharing. You are so right on point with many issues that bring one to this decision. As for the "cheating" really I guess it is better to have surgery to out in stints or have my chest cracked open.

This journey is tough enough without judgement even when you are trying to do better for yourself. Keep up that fantastic energy, love it.

Congrats you look great! My mom had bypass done when I was in high school and I felt the same way and told her she cheated. I can honestly now say bypass is so not cheating. The hoops you have to jump through, the surgery, recovery time, new diets, and the sacrifices you have to make long term? How could that possibly be cheating? I feel much differently now for sure!

      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!
