Ok I am on my phone and obviously CANNOT figure out how to reply to a quote. Help! Haha. I'm sorry for all the dud posts I just made that I can't delete now.

No, my husband never did have the surgery. We met just a few months later actually. I'm glad he did not. He has spoken here and there of wanting to go through the process again but I'm hoping he doesn't.

oh then - you must feel his health is good and weight is good and all that? why does he speak occasionally of wanting it?

The psych is the one that I worry about the most. Other than hoping insurance will approve the surgery. My DH, who is retired military tried for the surgery a few months before we met and a shrink labeled him with PTSD. It was the only step he had left. He was livid.

He told me to just speak when spoken to. They will try to trip you up. Hopefully his advice works well. Haha.

I hope they also provided treatment for his PTSD? If that was the only thing keeping him from surgery it seems like rather than turning him down they would provide treatment and then reevaluate.

      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!
