2 DAYS!!! Ahhhhhh!

Tomorrow at 3:30 I find out what time my surgery is Friday morning. I'm going to pick up some stuff tonight I want for the hospital and hopefully pack too. How is everyone else getting ready?

I know. Is this really happening for us? Seems like a dream! I leave tomorrow morning for Vegas and meet with the surgeon. Then it's last meal time. According to the nutritionist your liver doesn't have time to expand so quickly, so I get a last meal. Looking forward to that just as much as the surgery!

It has seems like a dream up until today. I'm really feeling the pressure today. But I am excited too. Mostly nervous about the healing process. Afraid of strictures or leak. Ive lost 10 lbs in the last 10 days. That keeps me going. :)

So I have arrived at hotel. We are going to go shopping and try to relax a little ( if I can) I was pretty emotional this morning saying good bye to my kids. Basically up and down feeling good, scary, excited, I know my surgery is first thing in the morning. I cannot wait to just be in recovery and know I am ok, sleeved and using the tool to change my life.

      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!
