I am scheduled for Feb 21st. Had my final appointment today where I learned everything there is to know about Vitamins and Protein. I cant wait to be able to do things that my friends do and not be physically un comfortable. Keeping that in my mind makes the fear of surgery go away. I learned to focus on the positive outcome vs my fear of surgery. So excited!!

Omg less then a week away for me. 4 days to be exact. I feel like I have so much to prepare for and so little time left. Before I felt like it was so long away for my surgery date. Now I feel like I don't have enough time to prepare. Lol. I did my pre op yesterday (Friday) all I have left is an upper GI, and I'm in. This feels like I just won the freaking mega millions jackpot. I walk around with a big smile on my face all day. However I'm mourning food already and I didn't even have the surgery and I'm not on a pre op diet lol. My prayers go out to every single one in this group and others. God bless :-)

My date is on the 6th... I was thinking the same way but then I look at myself in the mirror and say yes! As far as my pre opt diet... I was on a 1200 cal diet since last Wednesday and as of Monday I will be on liquids only. I guess every doctor is different... Good luck! Sending good vibes your way!

I'm 2/6 as well. Do you start clears Monday?

      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!
