Recommended Posts

She called this afternoon and gave me a date. February 18th. I failed the first 4 ekg's they gave me today. my heart rate was 97 we got it down to 94 and doc signed it so i am all set for my pre-opp class friday, just need to lose the rest of the weight and pull together the funds for the silastic ring by friday. I am thankful for the date. I am thankful for how fast this has all gone. I can't wait to have it done, iwant to start losing faster so i can reduce this pain....february 18 seems so far away...but i know i was very blessed to get a date so soon....i guess i can join the february surgery thread now...has one been started yet? i am also very thankful to all of you who offer encouragement and support.

So glad you got a date. It sounds like a long time away, but it will move faster than you think. But I will be honest the five weeks since surgery went a lot faster then the five before. Isn't it just amazing how things seem to us. Time is Time, but it can seem to go so slow and at other times way too fast. Wishing you the best as you go through the rest of your appointments and classes getting ready for surgery.

      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!
