Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

That is my date too!! I am excited, a little bit nervous but I am keeping it together well. I am having it near where I live in the Bay Area, CA. I did have to lose a bit of weight, am down a total of 18 lbs from when I started earlier this year. I have Anthem BCBS and they have been so-so, but they are covering at 100% now. I don't have a long pre-op diet, just 48 hours before has to be Clear Liquids, then 2 wks full liquids, 2 wks pureed, 4 wks soft food, then back to solid at month 3.

Have you done all your shopping yet? I am getting everything this weekend, but got a Nutribullet (for the pureed and after) and food scale last week, and am trying to eat all the stuff we have around here now so that its not there afterwards. Also I'm making some household modifications - removable showerhead for the twice daily showers, extra height on my bed and couch so I dont have to bend, and rearranging furniture for easy access. Lots to do!!

I think I'm ready..... I feel strong and determined but every now and then I get a moment when I think "are you really sure you want to do this?" Best thing I do is get on here and read everyone's thoughts. Keep me posted on your journey, I haven't told very many people so it will be nice to have someone to share things with :)

      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!
