I think waiting to get approval is like the worst part so congrats on getting over that hurdle! I have to finish all of my pre-op testing before they will even give me a surgery date. Sucks lol

My surgeon says she does not require a pre-op diet. They initially wanted me to cut calories a great deal so it wouldn't be such a shocker to me. I was concerned about the diet because it was coming down to the last minute! They told me to eat really light tomorrow (day before procedure) and nothing after midnight. :)

Congratulations on your surgery date! Very exciting way to begin the new year and this new chapter of healthy living. I am just two months out and still figuring it all out, but I am so happy! Good luck to you -- keep us posted on how you are doing and don't forget to walk like crazy afterward. It really helps!

      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!
