Spike, I didn't want staples and made a big point of it. I just scar easily and drove my surgeon crazy with the no staples stuff. So much so, that I had it written on both of my hands when I went into the operating room, LOL!

No offense intended to innocent bystanders!

Ignore anything you don't want to read here, okay?

If I'm dealt a blow in an open forum, and my name is used in someone else's posts to a third party, it's pretty likely I'm gonna want it solved here. Why wouldn't the rest of you want it cleared up for all to see?

I never in a million years thought I would be targeted and I hope those of you who are wanting it to be overwith (that includes me, by the way), are never targeted.

It will be over when no one mentions it again, okay?

Piece of cake, Bettina! You can do it!

I go in waves, nervous---ready----nervous----ready...lol

Physically i am ready. I went out and bought all the post op stuff I was told to get. I only have to do one day of pre-op liquids...but I think I will try a few days pre-op..to get a jump start. The doc was impressed that I had lost weight since the last visit, so maybe I can wow him this time.

I was gonna do a last supper...did anyone else do that??

Ah, a last supper. I went to see my mother this past weekend to tell her and my sisters about the surgery. And to have my mother's cooking for the last time in a long while--rice, homemade bread, anisette cake.

But surgery's tomorrow and it's all Protein Shakes today.

Anyone else hear that the company that manufactures Carb Solutions is going under? Is the product still available anywhere? It's the only one I've tried and like it very much.

One more pre-op doctor's appt. tomorrow. I have to see someone about anemia, and then I'm hoping I'm good to go.

Of course, I also woke up this morning without a voice. I have a little over a week to get rid of whatever is causing it this time (happens to me a lot - usually acid reflux & allergies).

I don't know if I'm more nervous about it happening or about it not happening.

      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!
