Hi everyone! I am Kim and new here, although a long time lurker.

I read forums all the time, I want to know the good, the bad and the ugly. All the possibilities.

My surgery is scheduled for Marsh 21st and I am so excited. I am not a bit nervous yet but I know once it gets closer I will be freaking out.

I am so dedicated to this process, I have done months of research after years of convincing myself that I don't need this.

I have lost over 100 lbs multiple times, I have high expectations for myself that this will be the LAST TIME!

Thanks for listening!

I kind of feel like the prep, surgery, and recovery are like having a baby. There’s a lot of thinking and planning all for one event that lasts a couple of a few hours, then recovery for a few weeks. The tough part is raising “your child” for the rest of your life. It can be as fun or boring as you make it.

      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!
