Surgery Tomorrow Morning.. VERY nervous



Recommended Posts

I am not particularly a stranger to the operating room and I don't recall ever feeling this nervous. Things are flying around in my head and just won't stop, if I could sum it up I have a lot of anxiety and found it very tough to get to sleep last night.. ended up online till 1 in the morning.

I have been cleaning the house all day off and on, we stocked up yesterday. I have the following list, in case it is useful to anyone else:

1. Prune juice

2. Cream Soups

3. broth

4. Protein shakes

5. Drinkable Yogurt

6. chewable Vitamins

7. Chewable Calcium + Vit D

8. Pill box so that I can put all my pills in the dosage my surgeon wants before I go in.

9. 2 new Pillows to give me extra support in bed so that I can sleep sitting up if I have to.

10. A body pillow.

11. Pure indulgence.. a mini lavender bean bag bunny to squeeze and snuggle.

12. Spring Water

Sooooo.. I guess tomorrow.. over to post op.

I was very nervous too, but you'll find that the surgery itself will go by quick. I was in and out in 3 hours.

Your list seems good, sums up my last 4 days. The day I came home on Wednesday, I had a very achy left shoulder and used a heat pad overnight worked great and the pain only lasted one day.

Good luck tomorrow.

      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!
