Good luck tomorrow everyone. I got a anti nausea patch before surgery and it was good for 3 days, and Every time I got pain meds I asked for nausea meds. Didn't get sick or have any other problems other than my O2 saturation levels, but I have been dealing with that for a year or so. Blistex and cold glycerin swabs were great after surgery, due to not being able to drink until the next day after swallow test. It's been 6 days and I haven't taken any pain meds for 3 days. I took Isopure to the hospital with me and mixed it with crystal light it was good. My Dr said he just wants to make sure we stay hydrated. I am also wearing a compression garmet I bought at target to help getting out of bed, I just started wearing it today before I started cleaning the house.

Today's the big day for alot of us. Good luck everyone having surgery today-we will chat later on the losers bench. dde04

Good morning!!! Managed to get about 3 hours of sleep. We are leaving for the hospital in about 20 minutes. It's about an hour and a half away, but in a chicago suburb so we are giving ourselves a little extra time for traffic. Check in is at 9am cst.

Good luck to everyone today!!!!!

      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!
