I have to have a 2nd hiatal hernia repair also; my surgeon said because I lost so much weight, the first repair (done at the same time as my sleeve July 2014) was basically "undone" because everything shrank. Will be glad to have the major GERD issues gone, but not looking forward to the recovery. Also hope this is the last one!

I had hiatal hernia repair also, and my surgeon's office said this morning that it is spasms. Not much we can do about it, but like everyone has said, they will eventually go away.

My surgery was yesterday and this has happened to me since my first post-op ice chip in the hospital. I'm home now, and it makes it very difficult to drink anything. At this rate, I'll be lucky to get in 4oz of anything.

Yay, congrats! Mine is tomorrow around 10:30'ish in the morning (nurse told me that there are 2 ahead of me); I'm just ready to be on the other side. Hope your recovery is swift!

Tomorrow is the day! Is it weird I haven't had a phone call from the hospital yet? My surgeon's office called yesterday to tell me what time to arrive, but that's it. Doubt I will sleep tonight.

I'm this Wed too, but here in TX. Tomorrow I start the full clear liquids for 2 days, after being on "regular" liquids the last 11 days. Nervous, excited, ready to be on the other side! I don't have to do any lung exercises pre-op.

2 Protein shakes and 1 can of Soup per day, plus 1-2 Snacks (sugar free: Jello, pudding, popsicles) per day for 12 days (+ all the Water & sf enhancers/decaf tea I want), then full clear liquid diet for the 2 days prior to surgery. I'm exactly one week away from surgery and hating this diet.

Here is the link of the other thread that was mentioned: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/289288-4-things-i-wish-i-wouldve-known-pre-op/?hl=%2Bthings Great info!

Hi everyone ... my surgery is scheduled for July 23! Had my pre-op class 2 days ago, and I'm now on the mostly liquid (but not straight clear) diet until the 21st, when I switch to the clear diet for 2 days. I'm nervous/excited/ready to get this behind me ... I started the process in April, so glad it is almost done!
