Mañana! Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

i can't believe that my big day is finally here! by this time tomorrow, i will already be at home (God willing) and recovering. i have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning. i'm my surgeon's first surgery tomorrow!

i'm excited to get home and start washing my linens, sheets, and getting my room ready for when i get home. tonight i have to go to the pharmacy to see if they carry my pain meds in liquid format. it is starting to sink in that this is really happening!

i'm a little worried, because i seem to be battling seasonal allergies. i've read online and it sounds that as long as i am not congested, then i am OK.

it's hard to think that this will be the heaviest i will ever weigh again in my life. i walk around and my pants keep falling. funny how 14 lb weight loss can make a difference. the nurse called right now from the hospital to check up on me and make sure i'm there tomorrow morning. this is all kind of surreal...

      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!
