January Surgery Dates!



Recommended Posts

@@dayciavu Well done on getting through it. How's everything else going too? Diet, etc? And how are your wounds feeling?

thanks

I'm doing ok, the first 2 days were the worst for pain. The incisions aren't that uncomfortable unless I'm trying to stand up from a sitting position Or bending over and it's only on the left side. The diet is ok, I'm still trying to figure out a drinking schedule, and medicine schedule. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good.

@dayciavu glad things have gone well for you, I am having my op tomorrow, really nervous but know that it will be worth when I get to the losers bench.

Do you have a lot of gas pain or just pain from incisions?

Wishing everyone a speedy recovery!

In the beginning the pain was mostly from the gas and the pain now is mostly from the incisions when I try to stand up.

Good luck to you. It's hard in the beginning and hurts a lot. Hopefully you get good meds.

I got my approval letter from insurance today. Called the surgeon's office immediately and was offered the choice of Jan 25th or Feb 24th. January 25th it is!

Luckily no pre-op diet - just liquids the day before.

      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!
