I’m pre-Preop. I just signed up for a seminar to learn more about the different surgical options (I’m pretty sure I’ll opt for bypass, but Im willing to learn more) and start the process. Unfortunately, I won’t get a referral until after 3 January (I can’t get in before then.)

I’m 52, have six great kids, 4 awesome grandkids, and in July 2016 I decided to end my marriage of 31 years. This is another step on my my journey to get my life back!

Hang in there....it does go by pretty fast.... Hard to believe mine is only 9 days away now... You got this!!!

I am just about on the same track as you. Just finished my 2nd nutrition class and making appointments for the rest. I am not very patient though, I know I have to wait until May but I would love to go sooner.

I hear you, I'd love for it to happen sooner but every appointment brings you closer. Best wishes!

      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!
