Tomorrow is my surgery I'm having the Lapland removed and gb done, I'm nervous but excited to finally get this Lapland out, but still having doubt, if the Lapland didn't work am I going to fail AGAIN with the gastric? Ugh sometimes my mind is my worst enemy!!! And am I suppose to do the bowel prep? My doc never told me but it says to do it in the booklet I got. I just feel so unprepared, like how many days will I be in the hospital, and did I freeze enough food for the kids for dinner, and did I here enough clothes washed and so on. Must just be my nerves! Anyone else feeling this way?

      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!
