Hi!

Well today is the day, my surgery day! Hard to believe it's finally here considering I made the appt back in early Sept. I have to be at the hospital at 11, surgery is at 1. I'm trying to breath and keep calm, reinforing to myself that everything will be ok and I will be ok.. but wow, I think once I hit that hospital, I'm going to be very nervous once they start hooking me up. I'm scared, I know that, but again, I'm trying to keep myself calm. I know I must do this if I want to stop this weight cycle!

See you on the loser's bench!

Being nervous right now is perfectly normal. Try to remember that you have lots of people wishing you well here (as well as any loved ones you may have told)--that's part of what's going to help me when my surgery date finally arrives.

I wish you a smooth surgery, a speedy recovery, and much success!

      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.

      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!
