I got a call this morning from my surgeon's office saying my doctor had an emergency and my surgery was going to be postponed until next Tuesday the 11th. I was a little bit anxious waiting for today, but now I have to go ANOTHER week (my 3rd) on the liquid diet so I am freaking out and hungry as anything! I don't know how I'm gonna do this!

I am sorry to hear that, and I can understand how frustrated you must feel...I am not sure how I would have dealt with that if I were in your situation...I think we just do what we have to do, if you know what I mean...just spend a lot of time on here...everybody listens and supports me when I get down or frustrated, and I think it will help you, too, during this unexpected additional wait time

I was in my hotel room next to the hospital because my surgery was at 7 am. And I had taken the milk of magnesia. So I call to check in to the hospital and they said my surgery was postponed because the insurance hasn't agreed to the sleeve from the lap band. And I was on the toilet shouting at them. So they ended up rescheduling and I got my surgery on oct 31 three weeks later. Gave me more time to loose before the surgery. Things happen for a reason. Don't use this an excuse to eat! Just keep going with your head up.

What a bummer but it will be alright, must be for a good reason. The preoperative diet was hard because we had the hunger, but it was so important to me to have a good successful and safe surgery so keep thinking in those terms and you will whip through this next week no problem.

      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.

      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!
