Hi all,

My surgery date is 09/21. I would love to have someone with a surgery date that is close to mine that I can email to share progress. I don't know anyone who has had the surgery and I have nothing to compare it to. I am feeling a little nervous! Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you!

sept 7th bandsters, how are you doing? i am hungry now. I have to stay on liquids two weeks. hard to do! I am trying real hard, too scared to eat anything anyway. still have left sided pain, i think that is where my port is. This hurt more than my gallbladder surgery in may did. but it is getting better day by day. Just wondering if anyone on the 7th is going thru the same thing as me right now.

good luck everyone

      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!
