Surgery 8/30/07



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!! I had it done, my surgery date actually got moved up a day on the 29th. I was really scared going in but everything went well. I have some pain from the gas and bruising around the incisions. I think it's really odd that I don't feel hungry food looks good but I'm not having hunger pains hopefully that lasts forever.

I can't wait to start losing weight.

Can someone tell me how to get one of the scales from ticker central I went to the sight and made one just don't know how to put in my messages.

Hi there!

I'm pretty sure you can right-click on the ticker you made and copy and paste it into your signature. Go to UserCP in the menu above to modify your signature.

By the way, make sure someone gets you some Gas-X. It was a real life-saver for me! The most pain I had was from the anesthesia--felt like I'd been hit by a truck. I was very sore. I remember being SO happy when I could sleep on my stomach again!

The best advice I can offer is for you to do exactly what your doctor tells you to do if you want the best results. Make sure you take in enough Protein every day and steer clear of the carbs once you can eat solids again.

Glad everything is going well for you so far!

Roo: There is a code that they give you (long web page) after you create the ticker. The first code is the one you need. Back over it. Copy & then go & paste it right under your signature on this board in the same box. You can get to your info. on this site by going to UserCP. So glad to know you are doing well. Welcome to the journey with all of us!!

Congratulations, you must be so excited. It is actually done now. I am looking forward to hear the process that you go thru. Nice to know that you can look at food and not want it. That just doesn't happen to us.

      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!
