My surgery is on Monday too..... I hope. I had my pre op yesterday and that Dr. called today to say that my EKG showed extra beats so my pcp wants me to see a cardiologist :( I have an appointment with the cardiologist on Thursday and hopefully everything will be okay and I can go ahead with the surgery on Monday as scheduled.

I'm so nervous it's gonna get postponed or canceled. I keep thinking in the back of my mind that this won't work, just like nothing else I've ever tried to lose weight has worked.

July 24th for me. I went to my pre op nutrition class, surgical briefing and last doctors visit before the big day. Even though I don't start my prep until sunday, My wife and I have already made up a list of all the foods that I will need and she is going to make all of my low fat cream Soups that are required. Much more healthy and alot cheaper. I have been looking at some of the crazy prices for all of the "bariatric friendly" foods and sometimes you need to put on the brakes and look at the situation. I am so glad that I have a partner like my wife Betty to help me with this transision.

Tomorrow is the big day for me! I am feeling super nervous today. I feel the butterflies flying around in my soon to be smaller stomach. I can't wait for it to be over! I have lost 9 lbs on the liquid diet. My goal was 10. I am pretty short, so I am okay with 9. Heading to the store soon to pick up a new robe!

      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!
