Tomorrow, Aug 1St Is My Big Day!



Recommended Posts

I have been wanting to post all day but have been busy getting ready for tomorrow! Tomorrow is my surgery!!!

I have to be at the hospital by 8:30 a.m. I have so many emotions going on right now. I'm excited but nervous and anxious all at the same time. Right now I am actually feeling very calm about tomorrow. I'm usually a bundle of nerves when it comes to dr. appointments or anything hospital related. I better just enjoy this calm feeling now because tomorrow I'm sure my anxiety will be 10X worse. My biggest fear will be the wait, having to sit there and wait for my turn in the operating room.

Good Luck all Aug. 1st sleevers! I can't wait to meet the rest of you on the losers bench!

I'm day 3 post-op and it is getting easier every day. I will not lie, when I woke up the first time after surgery I thought to myself why did I do this... I was in pain and those first 24 hours after surely are the worst. I was just waiting and counting the mins. until I could get my first ounce of water! The nurses wouldn't even give me a sponge to wet my mouth with. It was terrible.

I was in the hospital for 1 night and was released probably around 8:00 p.m. on August 2nd. Today is my 3rd day post opt and I am sleeping really well in my own bed. I was able to take a shower yesterday. I got up this morning and made myself some Decaf tea.

I know now that it will only get better from here. Thank you for all of the well wishes.

      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!
