I slept about 2 hours the night before surgery -- and I ended up sleeping through most of my hospital stay afterward to make up for it! Good luck, the hard part is right around the corner, but it get easier every single day. <3

Oh, and if you tell them you are nervous, they will give you something. They will give you something anyway, but if you tell them, you'll get it sooner rather than right before you go in for surgery. Ask them for a scope patch also - it prevents nausea. I didn't have any issues with feeling nauseous after surgery and I thank the patch for that! The anesthesiologist can get you the scope patch - just ask!

I agree this patch was a God send. I had no nausea after surgery at all.

      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!
