Well, a few more days to go. Seems like I am eating more than usual. Trying to maintain and not gain. it's not going so good. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. A weird feeling.

Yes, I can really relate to the 'nervous & excited' feeling. I'm on the 19th, also. I've calmed down a lot since I spoke wih my surgeon but still..... This is a big step for moi and I'm scared but I'm determined. Hold fast!

Welcome, Pat! We're all with you....I'm envious of our October Sleevers who are done and on the other side...at least the nervousness and anxiety about the operation are gone! So glad you're here and I'll add you to our roster!

I raved about this website to the practice manager at Dr. Owen's office & she was so enthused when she went here & saw what you folks do. She's going to recommend this to their patients. I'm very grateful for the helpful hints about things to take to the hospital (I've made a list of stuff that multiple folks have said was beneficial). Down 12 lbs. so far on the Liquid Protein pre-op diet. Dr. Owens should be happy with that when he sees me on the table next Wed! Thanks for this site, it's been SO helpful for me. Mary

Thanks! It's off to hospital, leave the house by 7am at the latest to be in City of Orange by 8am. Surgery at 10. Bless Dr. Owens, he put me first. Whew. More when I am home & feeling like being social.

My best to all the 10/19-ers!

Mary

I was trolling thru your posts...was wondering...you are from Covington. Where did you have your surgery? I'm planning on having mine in Baton Rouge. Was hoping to find someone who is familiar with the area...my doc and such.

Hi MsDebi, I had my surgery at Fairway Medical Center in Covington. It was done by Dr. Lavin of the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. I think they have an office in Baton Rouge. I would strongly recommend him. If I can answer any questions for you let me know.

Pat

      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!
