Hi All

Well here goes--I am heading out of work today. Got to go buy some decent (comfy) PJ's for the hospital.... Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I think I've got it all lined up at home for after surgery...

Heating pads to DVD's. Thanks to all for the wonderful support since I started this journey last October...When you hear from me next I'll be banded!!

Hi All-

Back at work today--All in all it went pretty well. I think the worst thing was the barium swallow right after surgery....Used the pain medication directly after surgery and that evening. Honestly didn't feel too bad. I felt like I had been punched several times in the stomach however. On full liquids now and for the rest of the week. Then it's onto pureed for a couple of weeks. My doc has a very conservative post-op diet, but I knew that going in! Have my post op appointment with the doc Friday--I think I was too groggy day of surgery to ask any intelligent questions. I've got my list for him.

      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.
