12 hours away from Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am 12 hours from my hospital check in time and I am excited, nervous, and relieved at the same time. Thanks forum members for sharing and helping me through the pre-op phases!

I had mine three weeks ago. Everything went smoothly. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. It's actually much much easier. I'm so glad I did it and you will be too! Best of luck to you and don't be nervous!

Feeling better every day since surgery. Just had my first Protein shake, having some pain, but making it though. It feels great to have this tool, and I cant wait to feel better and use it to its fullest potential. thanks for all the encouragement and prayers. :)

      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!
