Not having surgery then, but it IS the date of my first appointment with my surgeon, AND it's my 25th wedding anniversary. Which is awkward bc my husband and I are currently living apart bc of marital problems, but he really wants to be at the surgeon's appt too, to be my support person. Too messy, I think.

But YOUR day will hugely life changing! Which surgery are you having? Where?

Same here. I just keep praying that I won't be miserable those first few months. I know it's the right thing to do and I want it to so bad but still super scared.

Don't be nervous! :) everything will be okay, when you wake up from surgery you will think to yourself "it's already over". I was nervous too but there was no reason. Good luck to you

Thank you..I'm so worried about complications and I'm trying to calm my fear by talking to as many people as possible. But sometimes that's not good either. ????

      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!
