Hey all, I've created a topic in the "post-op" sub forum ( February 14 post-op losers) for those of us who have moved to the other side AND for all of you soon joining us! That way we'll have a long term place where we can ride this journey together.

Hi Erin,

A bit apprehensive really. They have changed my surgery time till lunchtime. I am still first on the list but it starts later. Apparently i will be in HDU overnight too which i was not expecting. All a bit discombobulating!! I will post on here as soon as i am reunited with my phone and iPad.

Thanks so much for asking. I hope you are ok and now having more to eat. You sounded like you were doing so well, you and Kim.

I will be back here soon nd thanks again

Claire

I started my new job today and had a great day. I was taking too big of a sip and that was why I had all the discomfort.

I am thinking of you. You'll do great. I can't wait to hear more about your journey!!! It is a lot to take on and I know you're nervous. But the new healthy you is going to be worth it all!

Claire- sorry your having to deal with the schedule change. They cancelled mine today due to my doctor having a personal emergency. Offered another doctor in the practice in his place, so still on for 11 in the a.m. Many blessings for a safe surgery, I'm ready and hungry after having clear liquid all day.

Well, I got the news I was hoping and praying I wouldn't get today. I am not a match for my brother so I can not be his bone marrow donor. I was so hoping I would be. Luckily we still have three other siblings to get tested and hopefully one of them will be his match. Very down this evening and I come home to my husband making white chocolate, macadamia nut, coconut Cookies. What torture. I broke down and ate two. Now, I am leaving the kitchen for the rest of the night.

      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!
