Just a quick update to say that DW and I had our Pre-Op appointment yesterday and it went really well. She still has a LOT of questions, but those were more questions about what she can cook and what to buy at the store.

The doctor even told her to take all the chips and remove them from the house!!! (She didn't like that part...)

But then we saw a flyer in the office that mentioned to take all the chips and put them on the highest floor of your house (we have a guest bedroom that depending on where you are in the house could be 2 full flights of stairs!) So she's going to try that. No WAY I'll want to go up there for chippies!!!

Anyhoo, just waiting on the Anesthesa (sp?) Doc to clear me and I'm going to get it scheduled. If I can't do it this upcoming Friday because they're booked, then it'll have to push to the first Friday in October because of family commitments (he only does surgeries on Friday...)

But still... great day!!! This is REALLY going to happen!!!

(Plus, lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks just getting ready for this thing!!) :whoo:

      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.

        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!
