Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

What I have read on here has been of great help in answering some of my questions. I have been considering having the surgery for 3 years. I kept putting it off to try something else....Finally I have decided to do this for my health. I have about 80 lbs to loose. I am a little scared since the last surgery I had was my wisdom teeth when I was 16. I am now 50......but here goes. I would love to get together with other members who have a November surgery date.

Thanks:whoo:

We cacn do this together. I live in Santa Clarita, CA. I am going to Mexico to have my surgery as my ins won't cover it here in the US. Hopefully we can keep in touch. I get what you say about watching from the sidelines....it is about time we start participating!!!!

I have seen several people did their surgery in Mexico and had positive results. Is the cost better there? Will a doctor state side do your fills/unfills? You can email me directly at GracieMoon219@aol.com. If you ever want to chat. I am a good listener. It will be March before I can get the surgery :-( even if the insurance approved it for tomorrow.

      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!
