Today is 17 days left! I have a countdown app on my phone. I put my leave in for work Thursday. I'm taking 1.5 weeks off. I hope that is enough! Due to other injuries and recoveries he thinks I'm going to have no issues with pain.

Well time is passing and we're almost there. To be honest I'm getting nervous but that wont stop me from accomplishing my goal!

I'm already planning the breast lift I will most likely need. I already found the boobs I want! Now I just have to get to my goal weight loss and see where I'm at!

July 7 here! Can't wait but very much starving on the 4 shake a day diet. I will make it.

This may be an irrational fear but i just imagine myself completely naked on the operating table in front of about 5 people before being knocked out. Anyone know if its like that? I guess if that's the biggest of my fears it can't be that bad.

I've had surgery, (although it wasn't this one yet,) a couple of times, and they've always kept me covered up right up until they knocked me out. It wasn't embarrassing, just a little awkward lying on a table. Everybody was totally professional, and very nice.

You will most likely be asleep before you are in the surgery room. Each time I've had surgery they gave me something to 'relax' me. The next thing I know I'm waking up!

I wouldn't worry about it. They see nakkid people day in and day out! Just like a male gyno..... know how many vaginas he's seem?!??!?#? LOL

      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!
