Pre-surgery - Emotionally STUCK!



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is Oct 6th. Im on the liquid diet now. Yuck. Im feeling alot better. I know its coming and I have a whole prayer team working for me. I will be ok. It seems like alot to learn to keep it up. I will be glad when Im done and on my way to a healthier me. My daughter is my number one cheerleader and I have come to look at that as the only support I need.

Got my surgery on the 6th at which time I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and my gallbladder removed. I was so scared. The worst part was shaking the aneshesia. Everything else has been ok. Most of my pain is from Gas and the hernia repair. Im still in the hospital I hope to be ready to go home on Friday. I think I will be ok to roll by then. Everybody swore by the gas strips I aint farted since I been here. They Worked no miracles for me thus far. I would definitely recommend getting the mouth spray to keep your mouth moist. Im still on fluids and stay dry. I regretted it the first day(surgery). Prayers and a strong support system have me up and doing good now. Seems like once they knew it was happening they all jumped on board. P. S. the pain meds are better in the hospital so stay and be comfortable as long as you can. You will be on your own soon enough.

Hey there - I am in the same boat and I am scheduled for Nov 10th also. I only got four hours of sleep last night because I was so excited/nervous or whatever. I just want to do this and get on with my life and I am on hold right now. I guess we will count down the days together :)

      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!
