Thank you all soooo much! I know it's weird to say but i am happy I'm not alone and it is comforting to know people feel the same way I do.

My surgery is tomorrow morning at 10am. I am nervous, scared, excited, anxious all the while, knowing this is going to be a good thing.

Part of me is dissapointed in myself that I wasn't strong enough to do this on my own, almost as if I let myself down. Why couldn't I have the will power, it doesnt make me the proudest to say I have had WL surgery but it is what it is and I know I am going to feel better and look better. I have held on to this weight for so many years, it's like breaking up with someone. I am so excited to get my self confidence back which in return will help me be a better wife and a better mom. Overall I know it will make me happy.

Hopefully a good night sleep and a easy surgery is ahead of me :sad: Be thinking about me tomorrow.

Steph

Steph....you'll be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow....good luck and I hope all goes well.

My date is scheduled for 3/18 and I'm sure I'll be up all night the night before full of nerves, which I think is normal. I hope you get a good night sleep and be ready for what tomorrow will bring.

Hey Luvinlife, I am a February newbie. My surgery date is scheduled for April 22, 2010 and I am freaking out. I have most of my requirements met but I also am not doing so great on my pre opp diet. I am supposed to lose 10% of my total body weight and have only lost a pound so far. I have 5 weeks left. I am so nervous to go under. My doctor has a 0% death rate so that makes me a little more confident but I just have a million what if's running through my head. I have a husband a 7 year old and a 2 year old so, I am right there with you. Do you have a surgery date yet?

      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!
