These feelings are normal. I was scared too..I knew that once I got to the hospital I would be ok. I spent 3 months getting prepared for it...seeing the cardiologists, the nutritionist, and the shrink....I kept telling myself...I was going to feel better getting this surgery. That was my mantra the night before...I still got scared...but 7 months out...I feel great. No regrets at all. I have sooo much more energy now that I am 52 #s down. shake your fears off and go for it.

Good to hear from you. Take it easy tomorrow....follow your surgeons directions and you should do fine. I would suggest you get some crushed ice to help with your Water intake...and a heating pad will help your upper back for gas...just will soothe you warming you. Be careful getting up...roll to your side then push up with your arms....go slow....it will get better as each day passes! Hang in there! :)

      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!
