Recommended Posts

Less than 60 days to the beginning of a new me. Getting excited, I find myself thinking about it all day and all night. Anyone else pre-op for march? How did you handle the wait?

I am 34 and pre-op, my surgery is scheduled for March 11. I am super excited but also getting very nervous. I am not afraid of the surgery, I am scared to death about the new life coming my way. I am terrified about future regrets. I love food and completely understand that it will take a lot of time before I can have many things I now love. I am also concerned about the stages, I am sure instructions will be given and the doctors will be available for any questions I might have. I also find myself thinking about the surgery all the time. When is your surgery date?

Good luck and best wishes on the new life!!! :)

I am 33. My surgery is scheduled for March 12th. I am excited for the changes to come and the whole new active lifestyle that I hope to have. One fun thing that I have been looking forward to doing is zip lining. :-) I too get nervous when thinking about the stages that we all go through after surgery. I am glad that I have support in friends and family. Also, I am glad to have come across this app for additional support.

My surgery is scheduled for March 13!!! I am also somewhat nervous about it, but I think the thing I wonder and fret about is loose skin after achieving my goal weight... I have heard some people say it will mainly go back into place and others say it won't.

I'm going to be march or April. I'm also nervous because of my love for food. But I'm looking forward to not worrying if I will fit in a roller coaster seat and having the bar squash my thighs! I would also love to learn how to swing dance one day.

      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!
