Surgery officially scheduled!



Recommended Posts

Insurance approved me last week so my surgery is scheduled for December 9. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that it's finally happening! I'm excited and scared and nervous and a whole range of emotions depending on when you ask me!

Anybody else got the pre-op jitters?

Congratulations on your surgery date. I was very nervous! I even cried when they made me walk down the hall to the surgery room. I wondered if I was crazy to have something done to a healthy organ (stomach). I kept reminding myself that I had two options, continue going up on the scale or be proactive and have the surgery. I had my surgery on Dec. 29, so I'm still very much in the sore stage. There's no turning back now.

Bkchick88 congrats to you! The first few days were the worst, so keep on keepin on! It gets better! For me right now, the worst part is that I won't get a fill for 2 more weeks and I don't really feel any restriction at all. I felt restriction for about 10 days but now that the swelling has gone down, I cant eat nearly as much as I used to, but I am feeling the hunger. I am anxious to get my fill! Keep in touch!

I forgot to also say that I too cried on the way to the operating room. The whole thing was scary. As they wheeled me into the operating room the anisthesiologist asked me how I was doing. I was like, "well, I'm here." Lol

      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!
