Wish me luck! My surgery is scheduled for this morning -- just a few hours from now. I can't believe I'm not even nervous. I'm just anxious to get this over with so I can start my journey. According to my scale, I've lost 11 pounds on the two week pre-liquid diet. I'm curious about how much I'll gain back from the surgery. See ya!

Just want you to know I will be praying for you. I'm 62 years old and my surgery in February was a breeze! I work as a church secretary and after having my surgery on Monday morning was able to go in on Thursday and do the church bulletin. I did get very tired. I was only on liquids for a week prior to my surgery and lost 15 pounds from the time I started liquids until I returned for my 2 week check. I've NEVER been able to lose weight like that and now, 2 1/2 months out I've lost 28 lbs. I don't think you will gain after surgery! I thank God everyday for the wonderful tool and it's so great not to be on a diet! I've had 2 fills and I think the biggest difference with me is that I eat so little...not what I can't eat but how much of it! I have a little trouble with dry meats but if I chew, chew, chew, and take little bites I can eat about anything.

      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!
