Having Surgery Tuesday



Recommended Posts

Hi friends, I just wanted to check in before the big day. I cant believe its here. I have been doing the 3 day liquid/jello/slim fast diet. I feel ok. I did get my monthly friend on Saturday so I hope that not going to be a problem. Im really not at all nervous. My mom is, I guess because she lives out of town and cant be with me, but I told her the moment I wake up I will call her. Im hading back to work on Monday, since I just sit at a desk. I really have to thank all of you for the information I haved learned in the past months. I know this is the best choice for me and off to a healthy life. Thanks! Hugs from Philly! I will post as soon as I can!

      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.

      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!
