I am so excited! I have my surgery tomorrow. Today I am suffering thrui the 24-hour clear liquid diet. Its REALLY hard to be on it and be at work. Oye.

I found out I have a tiny sliding hiatal hernia but have not been told if there will be a repair... Has anyone had this? I am waiting on my admitting nurse to call me back. I really hope I dont have to have hernia surgery as well. This news was a shock after i got my upper GI results.

Good luck with your surgery . . . I know you'll be glad to get this behind you . . . Mine's not until January 12, so I'm on pre-op diet now . . . I think my doctor will fix a hernia at the same time, so I don't know what to expect from you. . . all in all, I'm ready. Keep posting on we'll all know how you're doing! :rolleyes2:

Sorry about the hernia but good they can fix it when they "go in" . You will be fine...and it will all be worth it as it has been for thouands of others who have gone before you. I think this device is an amazing and I feel grateful every day that I have been fortuntate enough to find it and get it. Good for you and best of luck!!!

Congrats and good luck on your surgery tomorrow. If you do have a hernia your surgeon should fix it while he is in there. It shouldn't add to your recovery time or anything. Good luck again.

Congrats, you must be so excited. I was wondering did your surgeon tell you how long before surgery you should not drink alcohol. Some people say 2 weeks, others say 4 weeks, 8 weeks, etc...

I was put on a two week pre-op diet and, at that time, that's when the alcohol stops.
