Gah! I am getting my Tummy Tuck today & I'm pretty nervous. I have to leave my house in like 10 minutes, but I thought I'd come let you guys know. I'll make sure to post some pictures as soon as I get them & feel like doing it haha. Wish me luck!

Congratulations, Katie. I hope all goes well. Let me know about your experiences. I will one day be looking at getting that surgery too along with an abdominal hernia repair.

Like Christasha said enjoy your youth. We are having a much harder time losing because of our age I am sure. I see the doctor tomorrow and I've lost 2 pounds in 2 months.

I'm alive! But barely. My pain meds keep giving me the worst nausea, but they said they can't give me any nausea medicine sooo.... what can you do? I can't really take any pictures right now, I do have a couple but they aren't the best. I'll upload them later. But yes, I'm alive!

This is five days post-op. I didn't take a picture all the way around but there's only about 5 inches they didn't cut. Ouch.

      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!
