Surgery December 15th @ 7:30am



Recommended Posts

My surgery is finally here. I am excited and scared all at the same time. I am so sick of being on the pre-op liquid diet that I am actually looking forward to the surgery. I know I still have 2 more weeks of liquid dieting...but hopefully I won't feel like my stomach is trying to eat me alive from the inside out! hehe!

I think I have read every post good and bad on here and I feel I am doing the right thing. I have lots of support from my family and friends. And I want to thank all my bariatricpals for helping me get thru the last few months. I will be posting as soon as I get home. Thanks all! :)

Dmaddox1, I hope your surgery went great! I also had mine yesterday, and I'm home now! They only need me to stay overnight. The pain is manageable and I'm on broth and Jello till Thursday!

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? I hope you are all doing well, and that no one has had a serious problems.

I had my surgery on the 15th also. I haven't had much pain, but have had a lot of nausea, For me the nausea bothers me more than pain would. Right now all the liquids I have tried taste terrible. :( They tasted fine before surgery, so I am hopeful that they will taste better soon. Other than that I feel better than I expected.

Hi Waterlily22, I doing good!

The pain and gas can be very bad at times, and the other times I can deal with it and keep moving. I know it will get better soon, and I hope everyone else is doing great.

Hi Leanora27801, Glad to hear you are doing well! I know what you mean, sometimes I have zero pain and sometimes there is a lot. I agree with you it helps that we know it will get better soon, and it isn't permanent! :)

      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'. ???

      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!
