I had my period and I shaved first....and I had on black panties firmly fitting indicating do not touch. I hope you all are sitting down! I put a sticky note that's said "do not remove!" No one mentioned it after but I'm sure they laughed.....I did so hard when I thought about it. That must of eased the OR.

Hahaha while utterly hilarious I would caution others not to do the same. If you had swelling during the surgery it could cut off the circulation in your legs. They would likely cut them off but it could cause damage before they figured it out.

Some ppl have a period after the surgery. Had mine like normal 2 weeks before surgery then started again 3 days after surgery. Be prepared ladies!

Not to worry.....I had my gallbladder out years ago....my period stopped the day before, but during surgery it had started with a vengence.......they were used to it......didn't even blink an eye......it shouldn't have any effect on your surgery.....good luck.

      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!
