Date set September here i come..



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, today I had my appointment with my surgeon again and my date has set 18th September... <br><br> Today I was soooo nervous that I made myself sick, my surgeon is awesome. So I should not be but it's exciting and nerve racking all in one.. <br><br> So I am happy I have a date and it's all starting to happen. <br><br> I do have a few questions though.. <br><br> I have to have a endoscopy 2 days prior to basically check everything out.. Is this normal??? I mean there is no extra cost but just wondering more about it. As in why and not what the procedure is.<br><br> I also have to have injections of Clexane, someone may have spoken about this and I missed it? What's that for?? <br><br> You know how you walk out and then think of a million questions I should of asked that is two I have .. <br><br> Thanks in advance <br><br> 57 days and counting!!!!!! <br><br> Kellie

Clexane is to help prevent blood clots and it's normal to have an endoscopy, congratulations!

Don't worry; endoscopy is a breeze. The procedure takes all of 15 mins and you'll be out while they do it. No problems! They just check the condition of your esophagus and entry to your stomach, make sure you have no big problems. It's a piece of cake. My date is Sept 10! We will be having ours very close to the same time! I am really excited too! :)

      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!
