Final surgeon appointment pre-op



Recommended Posts

Hiya!

I have my final appointment pre-surgery tomorrow and I'm trying to make sure I have all my questions written down so I don't forget to ask him. Anyone have anything they can possibly think of that I should ask - just want to make sure I don't leave anything out that I may not be thinking of at this moment :-)

I'm getting stressed just trying to figure out which supplements/vitamins to choose lol! I made me a binder with all of my info. Which is very informative. And I have a fantastic weight loss buddy! Welcome ????

I have a list of questions for my doctor.

Should I wear a medical alert Bracelet? )God forbid if something happens were they would have to place s tube down to help breathe.)

What size will my sleeve be?

Do you staple and stitch?

Will I be provided a binder or should I purchase one to wear after surgery?

Not sure this these help you but that's my list.

Good luck and keep us posted. ????

      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.

      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!
