Surgery Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the big day for me.. I'm so grateful for this forum and people who are willing to be open about their experiences. I pray that I do not have complications, but I know it's a risk worth taking. Please keep me in your prayers :)

Well today is day 2... Full of ups and downs but hoping the worst is over. It definitely give you time to think.. Part of me is hoping that all of this is worth it and the other part isn't convinced... I know it's natural to question while you're in pain.. But I know I spent a lot of time deciding to do it.. And there's no going back now lol

I had those exact same thoughts the day after my surgery! I'm now 5 days post-op and feel amazing... minus the left side muscle pain. It gets so much better each day... trust that and remain positive! :-)

      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!
