30 More Days Till Surgery



Recommended Posts

Guys, I'm 27 weeks post-op and have lost 103 lbs since May 10th of last year. I know exactly how you feel waiting for the big day but take it from someone who has been there, the anticipation of the surgery is a lot more traumatic than the surgery itself. I was totally shocked by the minimal amount of pain and discomfort that followed the surgery. I'm betting that when you look back on it you'll be thinking that you wasted a lot of worry and anticipation for nothing! It is amazing and you'll never regret the decision!

I seem to be settling into the idea. I am on the pre-op diet and was cranky for a couple of days. Seem a bit better now, at least I think so.

That is awesome! And thank you for your perspective and sharing your story I found it very comforting. To those of you having to do the pre-op diet ( liquid) sounds intense! I don't have to do one, I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. I live in northern California.

      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!
