I am new here! I have scheduled my surgery for June 27-2018 I am not sure what time yet but I am ready. I start my pre op diet in less than a week, I am more nervous about the liquid diet three days before surgery than almost anything cause I know I will be starving!!! The puree diet has me a little worried too LOL. Anyways I hope this is a good support system for the different stages. I gotta go take care of kids they are in my kitchen with no supervision it could be scary LOL!

Welcome and congrats! Not going to lie - the preop liquid diet is worse than the postop liquid diet. Try to find a hobby to keep your mind off the dreaded liquid diet. Do some crafts with the kiddos - painting or something, take walks or naps if you have to.

Good luck!

Congrats! The Pre-op sucks... *BUT* it's a great prep for post-op! Get used it things being tough, they will continue to be for a little while, but trust in that it's 100% worth it!

Good Luck and Stay Strong!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
