Having a lot of an anxiety (my Surg is suppose to be on the 26th at GWU in D.C.---- it was suppose to be on the 5th, but the doc didnt feel i lost enough weight on my liquid diet so far). But given complications I had during my last childbirth 3 years ago and the entirety from that experience,I don't think even Xanax is helping.... I constantly worry about successful Surg,worry about recovery and messing something up and getting the "so and so may occur including death"--- portion of the warnings given...

Worry about sagging skin or even more Heath issues,even when I am trying to beat a neuro condition by having this Surg. My hubby doesn't understand my level of anxiety and had to be brought on-board (a recent hospitalization and health issue managed to sway him). I am 234 pds and goal is to lose 94 pds....... My head is just not re-focusing..... Help!!!! Pls..

I don't know how to help but I will pray for you. I deal with anxiety and know how hard it makes things.

Thanks! I will try to modify my thinking.... Pop a Xanax..... Something......... My mother always said if I could get paid for worrying I would be a multi-millionaire...... :-/

I'm a worry wort myself. About EVERYTHING!!! I read one time worry is like a rocking chair: it will give you something to do but get you nowhere. I try to remember that worrying about it won't change anything but it's hard for me. My husband says I spend too much of my life worry about things that never even come to pass.

      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.

      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!
