So I went to my pre op appointment Wednesday and from the previous appointment I was told my surgery was going to be dec. 1, but they pumped it up to this Monday.Iam so nervous IAM glad I have a good support system because I COULD NOT do it alone. Kids have to go to school and such. Hopefully everything turns out great ????

Just keep a positive attitude. Follow your doctor's orders exactly and drink and walk as much as you can. Sending prayers up for you and your surgeons.

@@ELI.p.m

how exciting to be told your surgery is being moved up

better than moving it back a week or so :o

surgery has been sprung up earlier than planned - that is so exciting

great that you have people right there to support you :)

OMG - monday is the day after tomorrow, or the day before tuesday :huh:

hmmmm i think they are one in the same!! :D

good luck

speedy recovery

Good for you! Now you can get it over with and start healing. That is over a week less that you have to worry. Don't forget to take some chapstick.

Iam getting butterflies in my stomach from nervousness and excitement... GOD has surely blessed me. Can any of you tell me what to take ?? The hospital is about a hour ...hour and a half with traffic.

From what I've read, I plan on taking my phone and charger, slippers, roomy comfy clothes for going home in, Gas X strips, Burt Bees extra moisturizing lip balm, body lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, my reg meds and my own pillow for sleeping and for padding on the drive home. If possible, use a dark or brightly colored pillowcase so you don't forget and leave it behind.

I think it's probably good to have less time to stress before surgery. Best of luck and looking forward to a post op update. A new world awaits you!

      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!
