Wow, Sumsuz68, everything you just said could have been written by me. The doubts, the 3 kids, not super big, the blood pressure meds, the sleep apnea. Good luck, I'm sure everything will be ok! Even better than ok, it will be a whole new life. I'm on March 8, so I'm a week behind you.

Do you need me to shoot your devil on your shoulder too? Good luck! Are you on your pre op diet now? 1 more week for me. Woo hoo!

Wow, bigdaddyjoe. We really are alike! I just looked at your profile and we have the same amount of weight we want to lose, only 2 years apart and Ben the same birthday month. Too funny!

I'm March 1st. Way to start a month with a bang! So looking forward to it, but I do have this annoying devil on my shoulder whispering things like is it the right thing to do? What If something happens? You have 3 children counting on u...what if things go wrong? I'm not super big (35 BMI), but obviously I'm big enough if they are allowing me to have surgery. If I don't do it now I know I will keep going up up up and having to get on more meds. I need this tool like nobodies business. I need to get off my sleep apnea machine and lood pressure meds. Will someone please shoot this stupid devil on my shoulder?!

I'm march 1 too. I'm also not that big 33-34 bmi. I have the same devil on my shoulder too trying to razz up my anxieties!

I'm shooting for March 7th. I have my stress echo, one month followup with my dr. and psych eval tomorrow. On Monday, I have my Upper GI, Nutrition consult, and sleep Study. I've heard my dr. does a lot more preop testing than most, but better safe than sorry! :)

I started my clear liquid/protein shake diet today. Is anyone else feeling like gagging from the texture of the shakes? Any suggestions?

PS.... Add me to the list please! :)

      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!
