I got my date yesterday! October 15! I cannot believe it's in less than two weeks! Woooo-weee! This journey started 5 months ago. I know some wait longer, but I'm shocked that they date is already here! I have no pre-op diet, just liquids on the day before surgery. Wow! :-)

I Just had my last nutritionist visit yesterday and I'm scheduled for 10/28. I'm starting to feel nervous now but exited as well. I'm looking through the forums to get an idea of what liquids I should get for the pre op and post diet

I'm done! Everything went well. This is one of the few times I don't want to eat. Just getting the liquids down is hard. Right now all I can say is thank goodness for pain meds! The only thing I could compare it to was my 2 C-sections, they were 20+ years ago and this pain is nothing like that.

      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!
