Recommended Posts

Hello to you all!~

My surgery is scheduled for September 3rd. I just started the Pre op diet today and already I am in quite a cranky mood...I am hoping my mind and body will adjust soon or that the next 13 days go by REAL FAST! :)

Anxiously,

Tara

I started the process 2 months ago, I wasn't decided until Sunday if I was going with band or bypass. I've decided on the band. I had my sleep study done and psy eval today, I will know what my next steps are on Thursday. I will probably not get anything done untl Nov. or december.

i've yet to start the liquid diet.< /p>

that comes on the 13th, but i've done HMR before and it's usually the first 2-3 days that i'm a monster.

after that, it becomes easier.

JillianRN - I am with you. I am 42. I am from NC, but we are in Richmond now. I am sure I won't bounce back as quickly as these 20 somethings, but hopefully quickly enough. I can't wait to feel 20something .

My surgery is on Sept 21st. I've been planning this for 1 month. My insurance changed so I don't have to wait 6 mts- a year. I had my Endoscope yesterday. I'm still a little sore. My Dr. Didn't put me on any special diets but should I be on 1?

I was on day 3 of my liquid diet when I found out that I was going to have to postpone the surgery. Now I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor to see how bad the mono has messed up my liver. That will be a big determining factor as to when I can have the surgery..... when my liver function tests and white count return to normal.

I've been told by my Group and witnessed o others to have a low fat diet 7 - 10 days before the operation; that is to allow the liver to shrink should you want keyhole/ lap surgery? I'm sure you'll be notified nearer the time? if not do ask...

NB!!!!!! Most surgeons require peeps to quit smoking at least 6 WEEKS before Op - that way it makes for better surgery and HEALING/ scars! x

Well done all those with a big balls to start a new page in their life that is based on who they are and not what they are xxxx:thumbup:

      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!
