Anyone having surgery in December?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am having surgery on December 9th! Looking for some other surgery buddies. I am only 28, not technically 30, but I have been married for 9 years and have 3 kids, so I really feel like I fit into this category a little better than the 20's group because of my life experiences. I hope that is alright.

I just got scheduled for December 15th. I've been thinking about it for over 4 years, so to have a date is kind of surreal right now. I've been married 11 years and have two kids. What are you doing to prepare for this? I've been increasing my Protein (shakes in the morning to try and get used to it) and cutting out sugar and fat (my favorites).

I have been trying to drink all day long, it is hard for me because I am one of those people who waits till they are thirsty then drink a whole bottle of Water. I have also been trying to eat every few hours. Healthy Breakfast, Protein snack, small lunch, snack (try to make it protein) then healthy dinner. Also been drinking some Protein Shakes. Good jobs cutting out sugar and fat. I have a sweet tooth but I have been trying! I pray I get dumping!

Hello everyone. I have fingers crossed that I will have my surgery in December. I still have two nutrition classes and my mental health eval to do but those are set for this week and next week. Doctor said if I could get these done I could have surgery as early as December.

      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!
