Mine doesnt for anyone...the whole staff of drs at this hospital doesnt...he actually told me a good dr can get around any size liver and at first I thought he was full of himself but eventually I read up on it and many other Drs feel this way. ..and I had a food funeral up until the day before surgery and mine went off without a hitch. Obviously follow your drs orders but not everyone has the same experiences.

Janice, you were so lucky! My preop was 12 days! liquids only! SO hard!

Yep yeah uh ha... So three scenarios here...

1. go and follow religiously your pre op diet

( the hardest choice)

2. Stay home and prepare for surgery.

3. Go and try not to cheat... But you might slip up because you are out having fun. And most likely will relax the normal rules in life.

Me??? I'd chose # 2

Because I know if I went even with the best intentions (#1) I'd end up being #3....

True! Plan scratched!! Nothing is worth not getting my sleeve!! **** just got real! Thanks Laura :D

Hehehe... I think you will be good at home because on my pre op I went from telling my husband "wake me when it done" to wanting to kill someone to freaking out about the actual surgery :P

They called to schedule my surgery during Spring Break. They offered me the following Friday which meant that I would have to immediately start Protein shakes. I took a date two months out so I could enjoy my vacation and all of the kids end of school banquets/field trips were over. The timing was better all the way around.

      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!
