My surgery was scheduled for 7:30 this morning. It's 8 and I'm still in the lobby. Not even to pre-op. I'm running out of patience and I'm so tired. Blah. Okay end of rant //

Congrats on your surgery today!!! That sounds very frustrating, but think of it this way... if there was somone ahead of you and the surgery was taking longer than expected and delayed your surgery that's a good thing. It only means that your Dr. is not going to rush to get through the surgery. I would rather have a surgeon that takes his time and gets it done right rather than one that rushes through because he has another surgery that HAS to get in on time... I want to be a person not a number in line. Good luck!!!! You will be out of surgery and feeling great soon!!!

      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!
