Just got "the call" that my surgery is on schedule for tomorrow at 7:30. I have to be at the hospital at 6 am. I thought I would be really nervous, but I am so at peace. Been on liquid only diet since yesterday, with just 1 dose of MOM. That was easier than my endoscopy!!

Thank you my friends, for all the support during this pre-op period. I am looking forward to many new things - like, not being so tired and out of breath all the time, being able to buy clothes because I like them and not just because they fit. On a more humorous side, I am excited to be able to look down and see my feet, be able to get in and out of the tub without a wave hitting the floor, and lastly, be able to wipe my butt with no problem.

I will try to never take my health and my future weight loss for granted ever again!! See you guys on the flip side in post surgery!!!

      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!
