Surgery in two days



Recommended Posts

So...I board a plane in the morning to head down to Mexico for my surgery. It still seems unreal. I can't really wrap my head around the fact that it's tomorrow. I am going through all the motions getting everything ready. But I am doing it in a bit of a haze. I keep thinking about my surgery like it's way out in the future. Then suddenly I realize it's in two days and I panic.

I think my body is acutely aware of the fact of what's going on as I have severe anxiety and have had an upset stomach all day. Just because my mind is trying to block it out....doesn't mean my body wants to cooperate. LOL

I can't wait until the surgery part is behind me and I can start dealing with my life afterwards. It seems like I have been so focused on this surgery that I can't think of anything else. I spend way too much time on these boards and way too much energy thinking about the procedure.

I wish that I had someone to go with me to give me some moral support. I will probably freak out the night before while by myself in the hotel room. Oh well...the wheels are in motion. YIKES.

      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!
