2 days to my surgery and I'm starting to get scared a little bit I never had surgery before so it's making me nervous

Trust me there is nothing to worry about. Never had surgery before and I was scared shitless but u don't remember anything as soon as you get in that room and they put that thing over your face it's lights out you don't remember anything until you're in recovery. Good luck to you!

Do let us know how it went so I know what to expect on 5/30/12.. Even if you don't remember nothing,and you wake up in the recovery room. How do you feel once you wake up? Are you in serious pain? How does the first meal taste? What food did they give you? Was your hair a mess? Did you have a rope or PJ with the zipper in the front?

I don't really remember a whole lot after my surgery just being kind of confused and uncomfortable my stomach was hurting. But then I realized it wasn't from the pain of the surgery it was from the gas they use. And once I starting passing the gas I felt better. As far as my

First meal it was a cup of chicken broth 1 sugar free Jello and a sugar free Popsicle. I ate like 2 teaspoons of of broth part of a Popsicle and maybe 1 teaspoon of jello and was done lol Remember you need to walk walk walk as soon as u r able Hope it helps

      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!
