Hi I am scheduled to have surgery Feb 20 I really need a mentor I'm starting to doubt and panic. Is that normal?

I'm pre surgery too.... I am very anxious about all of this too. I am sure it is normal. I wish you the best of luck. Where are you having it done?

Yes. I'm finishing up pre-op tests. I've been told by many people that Gadaleta is one of the best. Is Gellman the other doc in the practice? The name is familiar.

Preoop jitters are normal. I almost backed out the day of the surgery. And I have had some ups and downs afterwords as well, but for the most part this has been great and is definitely working!! I was sleeved on 1/28 my weight was 450lbs and I just went for my first postop visit on 2/8 and I was down to 421lbs. My goal weight it 200lbs so I have awhile to go. I think the worst part for me was my mental hunger. I am finally getting over that, it only took a few weeks...... Lol. I am sure you will do fine, good luck!! :-)

      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!

        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.

      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!
