-- Last Appt 3/25 (history/physical), Surgery 3/26 --



Recommended Posts

I'm getting more excited every day!

Just wondering if anything can possibly happen in the "history/physical" appointment with my PCP tomorrow?? It's the last step of this process and I am so paranoid.

This is just a 30 min or less appointment, correct? There is no way I can screw it up, can I?

Thanks for humoring my CRAZY!!!

As long as you are not sick, or something weird and new has popped up it should be no big deal.

My appointment was easy peasy. I don't know why I work myself up so much. Last hurdle complete!

My husband and I are staying in a hotel tonight near the hospital. My surgery was switched from 8:00 to 9:30, so at least we can sleep a little longer. As if I'm going to sleep!

I'm doing well in my room now. I was given s spinal thing for pain so no pain pump until tomorrow. So I'm still seeing double and falling to sleep often. I've walked around twice. I'm not getting discharged until Saturday 3/28 and told my husband not to come back until then. GL to all with surgery this week!

Using sponge applicator for Water so I don't gulp. Ask for mouth spray, too. I'm itchy EVERYWHERE so I keep getting Benadryl.

I am so afraid of the gulping when I am thirsty. Especially when I am working out hard. Totally freaks me out.

      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!
