Surgery May 3, 2011!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! My Name is Kristy and my surgery is scheduled for May 3, 2011. I'm very excited but also very nervous. I've been on the pre-op diet now for 8 days and I did really well my first 6 days, (losing 8 pounds) but the past two days I have stayed the same..so I'm getting alittle nervous that I won't hit the 15 pounds my surgeon requested that I lose. I have not cheated, but it is also almost that time of the month, so I'm hoping thats whats going on, but its just alittle frustrating. I'm am very excited about this new journey!!

Thanks for reading!

Congrats on you date! As I was reading your post, I was wondering (even before you wrote it) if you were getting close to TOM. Just keep following your doctor's instructions and everything will work out for you.

Hugs

Hi Kristy and welcome. I am being sleeved on the 3rd as well. I have been on my pre-op diet for 5 weeks and 2 of them were stalled, I have lost a total of 15 pounds on it and I am hoping that is enough for my surgeon. Maybe I will lose a few more before next Tuesday, TOM was an issue for me as well.

How funny is that!! My surgery is in Bristol, CT. Can you tell me how you get that weight tracker thing to your profile? I made one, but I don't know how to post it to my profile, if you could help me that would be great!

      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!
