So sorry this happened to you...what a nightmare! I am glad that you will be able to heal the ulcerations and have a safer and more successful surgery now!

For those of us pre-op, do you know what caused the ulcerations (maybe all the stress or the pre-op diet)? Any symptoms you noticed?

My doc did not order that test for me. Does an Upper GI show ulcerations?

Well SH*T, that just sucks. No wonder you were all over the place with your emotions that pre-op diet alone is enough to do it, then to have the rug pulled out from under you is just jank (my 10 year old taught me that). hehe. You have done a good job at talking yourself down though by listing the positives. Take your medications...heal it up and have a great surgery!

Wow, I can relate to $@#$%# that feeling. I just found out my doctor didn't get his privileges. And the hospital only meets monthly to give them. So, I have been anticipating this and on this Protein stuff for a week, ready to go next Friday...all dressed up and nowhere to go. I could cry.

To complicate matters, I am on a short window. I don't have a job so I started my own consulting biz. I don't have any projects right now, so living on a paltry $240 a week (before taxes) of unemployment. Was using life savings to pay for the surgery since I don't have insurance. I really wanted to get this going and get healed to be ready in case I get called to work. Meanwhile, I got a call a couple days ago from a large manufacturing client (possible client) and gave them a proposal. It's a big job which would probably keep me busy til April 2011. @#$%#$@ I want the surgery, and I want the contract. So I called the potential client and told them I would postpone my surgery for the contract and hope my doc gets privileges next month. I really like my doctor, but I am getting so discouraged. I really need the surgery for my physical health and the job for my fiscal health. Aiyaiyai...why does it have to be so complicated? <end of rant>

      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.

        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!
