Surgery might not be happening tomorrow:(



Recommended Posts

Whenever I've checked in for any type of surgery, usually outpatient, they will ask for my photo ID and insurance, and run it to get the required co-pay. I actually just sent a note to the surgery insurance gal to ask what my co pay is. She said $175 a day (hopefully I will only be in for a day or two) since I haven't met my deductible yet.

I was sleeved on 6/20.

3 days of total pain and total regret. Walk walk walk. Then walk some more. Hold your stomach up and in, where the gut bounces as you walk - should be left side

Day 4 felt better, just abdominal pain

Day 5 felt even better, abdominal pain

Day 8 felt awesome, abdominal pain and severe diarrhea

Day 9 small amount of abdominal pain

      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!
