Surgery in the morning, CANT SLEEP!



Recommended Posts

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30, there is no way I'll be going to sleep tonight. I'm so anxious, nervous, excited, all kinds of emotions! I'm not concerned with the actual surgery, just the after surgery part. Please everyone say a prayer for me!

You know how a brand new leather shoe feels when you wear it for the first time? Its rigid until you break it in...and it will get better every day. The key is to walk as much as possible. It will not only loosen your new stomach, it will rid your body of the gas that gets trapped during the procedure. I can't stress it enough...walk as much as you can, post-op. You won't experience much pain...just take it slow and don't push yourself too much. I am 8 months post-op and down 90 lbs. It will happen to each of you too! Best wishes on your journeys. :-)

Surgery went great! No complications, he said I did wonderful. I'm in a little pain, but there's this neat little button they gave me to push as needed! Hehe! Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes.

      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!
