I am scheduled for tomorrow. Surgery is also supposed constant at 9:30 have to be there by 7:30

This is hanner2009's mom...she had the surgery Monday and got home tonight about 6pm. She's having a rough time and alot of pain. Please say a prayer for her. I pray all of you are doing well also. Good luck to you all...

PS, it won't hurt as bad if you can sleep in the recliner or sit half up on the couch with pillows and sleep. Also, use a heating pad on the drain area...if you don't have a heating pad...put a towel in the dryer and let it get warm...fold it to keep the heat in it and place where it hurts. Get up and down like you are 9 months pregnant...it won't hurt as much. All this is my experience. Hope it helps.

I mean magnesium citrate. My husband is flying home right now and I am trying to take care of my 3 girls while prepping for surgery tomorrow.

I got home Wednesday night and I am just now updating you all. I'm sorry for not getting on here sooner..I just didn't want to get on when I felt bad and possibly ruin someone else's excitement because I was having a hard time. Anyway, my surgery went well and my dr is very proud of the success I've made this far. I have to say though, I am, too!

I'm so proud of taking that leap of faith and going through with it and coming out on the other side a whole new person (or so it seems).

Good luck to all who are considering this surgery and thank you to everyone who has been here for me and all the other sleevers before me for support. It means the world to 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!
