Hey everyone. I thought I would post something today just to release my mind. I am having surgery tomorrow to remove scar tissue. I'm a little bit nervous but sure everything will go well.

I had a complete hysterectomy 9 years ago and the scar tissue has built up to where I am having a lot of pain. Pain when I cough or sneeze standing up and (TMI maybe) during and after sex. The doctor seems to believe the scar tissue is what is causing it so he is going in to burn it off.

Meanwhile, I am really hungry. I am starting to have the shakes and it's not feeling all that wonderful. I am on a pure liquid diet all day long. I have to drink a full bottle of Magnesium followed by 2 enemas starting at 3:00 slow time. I've been through this several times in the past and not once do I remember having to be on a pure liquid diet.

Good news about the liquid diet...By the time this is said and done, I am looking at at least 2 maybe 3 days of not eating (I tend not to have any appetiate at all the day after any surgery), I will have lost a little more weight. I think between 5 and 10 pounds.

I am asking that everyone that reads this thread to keep me in their prayers. I know the good Lord will be with me before during and after my surgery holding my hand. I have a wonderful Doctor (I've been going to him for 11 years now) and he has a wonderful staff. I feel a little more at ease knowing this.

After all this is over and I have healed enough, I need to go get a fill. So much easier getting a fill than having to go through an operation.

      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.

        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!
