My name is Michelle, I've been on this journey the past 13months. Been geared up for it before then just didn't realize it was an insurance possibility. I'm so excited that I'm finally going g to be able to enjoy life again without worry. My family is very supportive and that makes this so much easier. Been on pre op Vitamin regimine for over a week now. I know this isn't going to be a snap but it feels like it will be :)

Hey what do you do when you wake up and you didn't get sleeve but got bad hernia repaired? It was such a let down. I now have to wait 3 months. I know they had to do it but, I've wanted this so long, it really hurt.....

OH NO! I am so sorry, I know that sucks and you are probably so let down. i wish I knew what to say to help you feel better. Just focus on recovery and then before you know it your surgery will be here again.

Why couldn't your surgeon do both surgeries? I had hernia repair, esophagus damage repair and bypass all at the same time.

Sorry it took so long to answer. I had to get it first. My hernia was HUGE!!!!! 1/3 of my stomach was up in the esophagus! The doctor said he could have stuck his fist up inside instead of a thumb. So it's going to take 3 months to completely heal so I don't have problems later.

I'm sorry that happened but at least it happened before you had the surgery. It's probably better with how big it was to do it in steps but I know it sucks! I'm sorry [emoji20]!!!

It was a lot better. But still a disappointment it wasn't taken care of years ago. I knew I had it but was told by the Dr I saw about it , yes you have a haital hernia but your just FAT, and not worth my time! Then he left. So I never checked on it again. But such no is life..... I got it taken care of and the Dr was kind to me.

Well thankfully you have a decent dr now. What a jerk that other person was.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.
