Waiting in the surgeons office -- final visit before surgery tomorrow. I can't believe how scared I am. Part of me just wants to run out the door, drive thru a fast food line and forget this whole thing. Frankly, if I hadn't done nine months of prep, starved for two weeks including Xmas on Protein Shakes alone, and done a bowel prep yesterday -- I might actually do it. I'm so frightened!

I had surgery on Thursday. It is frightening. I have had surgery before but forgot the process. My pain was minimal but you will be uncomfortable. I know I had second thoughts up to the time of surgery. Hang in there as I am sure both of us will be very happy about it soon.

Hi Kathryn, I was petrified. My surgery was Dec 19. I think my fear was all about the medical end - the surgery, etc. Thank God all went well, as I'm sure it will for you as well. You're prepared, and once you get past the surgery, it gets easier....like a huge sigh of relief. I had some pain (some people had none!), but the first three days seem to be the worst. Then you'll be home in your own bed and on your way! Good luck, breathe deep, and let us know how it goes!

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it being over for sure :-). Is the pain all but a memory now?

      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!
