We have a lot in common. I had back surgery in April 2017 and have had other surgeries. I think the patch helped a lot. So far I am down approximately 9lbs. Good luck with your surgery. It sounds like you are well prepared. That helps a lot.

Thank you... count down time.... tomorrow morning... I am allergic to a lot of meds and have had a lot of surgeries so a couple of years ago I wrote everything down on a paper and when they ask I just have them make a copy of the paper lol makes it much easier... well.... I’ll be writing again when I’m on the other side of things !!!

Thank you for your updating posts. I go in day after tomorrow (by pass) not so worried about surgery as I am of what it will be like after. I have had plenty of surgeries before and know I tend to vomit from the anesthesia so asked the dr to make sure to put the anti nausea patch behind my ear, worked great for other surgeries.
i like that you came back as a post op report from your pre op.
I have also been having a lot of back pain from an injury last March and hope that doesn’t make things worse after surgery.. I have to go back to work the next week (no vacation time yet).
How much have lost so far and in how long?
Thanks!

Mine is on Thursday :)

      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!
