Nope. I talked to Lizette (the Med Asst) today and age said she is forwarding my file to Dr Chu to review and then once she gives the "ok" the surgery scheduler will contact me to schedule. She said that I HAVE to be at the exact date (or lower) to schedule and I have to be at the exact weight (or lower) the day of surgery or surgery will be cancelled.

She said did say that Dr Chu is scheduling for Late Feb early March at this point. So that is good. I think I'm going to just dance and jog all weekend... Everything I do will be dancing or jogging.... I'll jog to the bathroom... Dance in the shower... maybe do a combo of the two when I go check the mail... LOL!!! I WILL be down to my goal weight on Monday! Mark my word!!!!

I'll be thinking of you all weekend! And as far as weigh in the day of surgery, the rn who weighed me (still fully dressed with shoes on, I thought it was gonna be after I was in a gown) said she was only weighing so they could calculate meds. Has anybody actually been turned down the day of surgery, or is it just a scare tactic?

I was over by .5 of my goal weight and got the okay. Day of surgery showed me having gained 2 and here I am now, sleeved. Unless you gain like 10 pounds by surgery date, you should be fine

Hello! Feeling great! I'm seven days out now (well, I guess right days since its almost midnight) . Had horrible nausea and gas pains for the first couple of days... Not I feel absolutely "normal". My abdominal muscles are still sore, but nothing horrid. Feels like I've been working out my abs hardcore. ;)

Having difficulty getting in all of my fluids, but I keep pushing along. I did have a pretty big breakdown last night from all of the emotional ups and downs. I have been preparing all meals for my family since surgery and its been a bittersweet duty. I love being able to smell the food and to cook, but as soon as I'm done and they are eating (and I'm not), the reality sets in. I KNOW it's temporary, but never the less, it's hard to deal with.

Other than that, life has been good. Very grateful that I was able to have this surgery done!

Tomorrow morning I start on introducing yogurts, sf pudding, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and sf apple sauce. It will be nice to have a bit of substance to my diet now. ;)

Thanks for checking on me.

      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!
