It's finally here!



Recommended Posts

Can't believe it's finally here. I remember when I made the countdown ticket on my phone. It was 94 days. I'm sitting at work drinking my lunch. In 2.5 hours I will head home to pack up the car.

We are driving to Columbus Ohio tonight to meet up with my mom and then we are flying out tomorrow morning. Woo hoo!!

The hubs and I are both getting surgery Monday. Very much looking forward to being on the other side.

Keep us posted on how things go! (My ticker says 48 days...I know what you mean. Some days I think it's a lifetime away, others I think "OMG - it's too soon!"

Made it to San Antonio. We're checked in at the hotel. Best part of the trip so far...getting off the hotel shuttle, hubs stood up and his jean shorts fell to his knees. Bahaha. Guess the pre-op diet is really working.

Thanks everyone! We are back in the US. The trip was trouble-free. We fly home tomorrow morning. It'll be great to be home in our own bed.

Dr Alvarez and his staff were fantastic. Most of the nurses didn't speak English; however, it seemed there was always someone available if we needed something. Rosie, the hospital van driver was great. Lots of funny stories & she made the trip enjoyable.

      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!
