Sitting in waiting room for first per op appt and class. They didn't give me alot of information about what to expect. Just told me to clear most of my day and part of my day would be spent on class. But today makes it feel real. The day of surgery is getting close. I'm expecting to learn more about my pre op diet today. I'll post about what I learned after I'm done. Good luck and god bless those headed to surgery this week and all those

I know what you mean! I feel like I'm floating! Lol and nothing tastes good to me. Everything sugar free tastes like nutrasweet and I won't even start on chicken broth. Lol

I had surgery Thursday and didn't really shake the anesthesia hangover until Saturday. It gets better.

Just found out I'm having robot assisted laparoscopic RNY. Apparently the stand you on your head for the entire procedure because of the robot.

So they tell me I can look forward to swelling around my face and neck. Hmmmm that doesn't sound like fun at all

I work in robotics at my hospital and the swelling is usually not severe

Oh I don't know if I'd like that. As much of a technology person as I am, I would not trust it. I would be protesting the robot. Humans are all different inside and as great as robotics are these days, they are still robots.

      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!
