It's getting closer and closer to 2/13. I remember when I first started posting it felt like a lifetime away. I am getting very nervous. Anyone else nervous?

I am trying to just to stay calm. I know this is the right life tool choice for me.

Totally get it! I had a panic attack the other night. Couldn't sleep.

Yep I'm the same. I see people who keep saying they're excited like they're going to disney....I can't even comprehend that. I'm at the point where I'm just questioning whether or not I think I can do this. I'm looking at a lot of my life and thinking just how is this going to work?

Juny , what is your biggest fear is it the lifestyle change or the actual surgery itself? I cannot offer any sage wisdom because I myself am pre-op But I can do all the things I need to do post surgery in a snap, I am just having a hard time with actually going under. I have all the confidence in te world in my Dr but I just fear the unknown and HATE being conscious. SCARY!

Maybe some others can talku down and make you feel better about it. I know they have for me.

For me it's the lifestyle change I think, at least in the short term. I'm worried about everything from constipation/diarrhea and how to have lunch w/ my colleagues to serious complications and what if I make a mistake choosing this surgery.

Mostly I'm resolved....But I've had a lot of time just waiting for the surgery date so a lot of doubt and worry has crept in.

For me it's the surgery in general and anesthesia specifically. I have an anesthesia phobia.

I think it would be odd not to be nervous! I'm 2 days before you so will try to post my experience for you. I'm heading down to the Marriott the night before and I already asked if its okay to take Ambien the night before - yes, thank goodness!

I think it helps that the next three weeks are really busy for me. It will be here before we know it!

      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!
