Well I just got back and check up went okay. Bad news is, either my scale is off or I've gained a little weight...oooppppsss. Well they did some bloodwork to check my thyroid and for diabetes ect. Sure all will turn out fine. It really wasn't to difficult or stressfull, Kathy. I don't really have too much advise to give you. Since you and I are both self pay we don't have the same hoops to jump threw that some of the others do. I really wont know anything for a few days untill my blood work comes back.

VERY normal... But be careful!!! This is extra weight that you will fight with.

I had my consultation in April and approx. 8 weeks later was my actual surgery. From all of my 'last suppers' I gained 13 pounds in that time frame.

I often think that IF I wouldnt have gained that extra weight, I would be well below my first goal... -200 !!!!

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.

      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!
