Can't seem to sleep and have to be at the hospital for 5:30 for my procedure,and have to stay bc the insurance seems to want you to stay at least one night.

Wel it's no wonder you can't sleep. I don't have a date yet. But when I think about having to get in the car and drive when it's time, I can't picture doing it!

But I will. And so will you.

As corny as it sounds, this will be the beginning of a wonderful chapter in your life. Once you get to the hospital,they will be just great with you ,you'll just go with flow and the next thing you know, this time tomarrow, it will be behind you and your new chapter begins! I hope you have a solid support team and use them often.

Hopefully, one day soon I'll be asking you post- op questions. Now say a prayer, ask for peace of heart, and get some rest. Thinking of you...

You'll need that one night, at least, in the hospital. Congrats on taking this first step for the rest of your life! I remember being so nervous the night before surgery, but so excited as well! I couldn't anticipate the many wonderful ways my life was about to change, and it's been even better than I thought it would be! :)

Good luck and welcome to the loser's bench! :)

      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!
