I'm getting dressed for my pre-op appointment. My surgery date is 9/8 and I'm ready and anxious to get it over and done.

I'm in Eastern Virginia and just found this forum so I'll reply after I've read some more topics.

I'm September 8th struggled through pre-op diet but I'm patiently waiting. I am nervous too don't want to talk myself out of surgery

My date is September 9, I'm pretty sure I'm exaggerating how bad this diet is, but I'd honestly rather eat Brussels sprouts than any of these nasty drinks and Protein Bars :/ hopefully this last week goes by quickly!

My surgery is September 8. Just had my pre-op appointment with surgeon yesterday and everything is GO! My pre-op diet was optional but I'm doing 2 shakes a day and one light meal.

It's been such a long lead up to the surgery it seem like it won't ever get here. I started the process in May and insurance company require 3 months of diet counseling and a chat with a psychologist.

Now I'm getting the last bits together for post surgery liquids and cleaning out the fridge.

Good luck Alicia. Big eating changes ahead. But at least we won't feel like we are starving. Can't wait to stop feeling hungry all the time.

TOMORROW! Today is all liquids and getting ready for tomorrow. Gastric sleeve is outpatient but knowing how I react to anesthesia I'm packing for an overnight stay.

My husband finally admitted that he is scared. I'm scared of the pain afterwards and for some reason the tests after surgery is frightening.

      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!
