This is really a personal decision & you need to do a lot of research. I would make a list of pros and cons for each type of surgery, to include lifestyle changes, expected weight loss percentage and possible complications. Your doctor could also help council you on what type of surgery is best for you as well.

I chose my surgery (VSG) because I ate mass quantities at a time but I didn't want to deal with dumping syndrome, mal-absorption or miss the hormones that are produced in your intestines.

To pick your surgery you need to be brutally hones with yourself about what you expect out of each surgery and whether you want to live that lifestyle forever.

I'll just second the advice to talk to your doctor about this. Your particular issues will affect which is the best option for you. And you will be best able to determine what you are willing to do after the surgery (and for the rest of your life).

Good luck!

      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!
