My surgery is scheduled for January 28th. I had my pre-op appointment last thursday and all tests done, including EKG and have been clear. Now just waiting for the 28th. I'm excited...but, scared at the same time. :)

I'm the 28th also, my pre op testing & meeting with the dietician isn't until the 23rd though. I'm getting more nervous everyday. Lol

I have my pre-op Tuesday, surgery the 27th. I'm second guessing if I can do this. I'm no longer terrified of the actual surgery or recovery, still worried, anxious of complications. I just don't know if I can do Protein Drinks, supplements everyday forever. When I see it typed out, I think what the heck, it won't be a big deal. See, I am bi-polar and have to take meds every day anyway, maybe it won't be as hard to just add more pills to the mix?

Ugh, I'm so confused.

Jlmckee,

I understand what your saying but keep your head high and know that you will be great and healthier once everything is complete. I have an appt. Tuesday for retest for H Plyera bacteria if that is clear, looking and praying for surgery date by first week in Feb.

My surgery is at 7am tomorrow morning, have to be there at 5.30am, sucks as hospital is nearly an hours drive away.

Started my Magnesium C and clear liquid day early this morning, other then a lot of stomach gas, so far so good, only one bathroom visit as of yet, but not looking forward to it once it really starts working, I had to drink 2 x 10oz bottles, had the Walgreen's grape ones, its ok but highly carbonated, I think that's making my stomach hurt the most. Wish me luck.

I have to be there at 530 too! I had my mag citrate at 10 this morning. I hope I'm a bout done, but it still coming. I was hoping to get to bed early, I guess not. Good luck to you!!! See you on the other side:-)

      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!
