The old evening-before-surgery freakout.....



Recommended Posts

I'm sure that it is pretty common....but I've been so enthusiastically pursuing this surgery for the better part of a year, and I'm scheduled for tomorrow. Tonight, I am geeking out, hoping and praying that I am doing the right thing. I am one of those people who have things happen to them that don't normally happen to the majority. :)

It doesn't help that I'm the last surgery of the day, and I don't have to go into the hospital until 2.......please keep me in your thoughts?

Thanks so much,

Deb

Sure thing Deb! When you hear those words "You're all done" - I promise, you won't stop smiling (and it won't be from all the drugs!)

Thanks, Kirk! Hey, how are you feeling?

I'm great! I have been extremely fortunate to have had a very smooth recovery - I think a lot of it has to do with being uber compliant and really absorbing all of the information that my surgeon and nutritionist have provided to me both pre/post op.

I have a YouTube channel where you can follow my journey - search VSG KIRK

I haven't been THIS happy in a very very long time.

You're gonna be great! Try to relax and concentrate on being EXCITED. I'm serious....think about as the beginning of a new wonderful life... I looked it at as my own private Dana's Independence Day! Freedom to be the true me after 40 years!

Good Luck!! So excited for you!!

      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!
