I'm scheduled for 9:15 am!! So many emotions but right now I'm just nervous. Really worried something will go wrong :/

@@ella37, I think it's normal to be scared! I was too. But the funny thing is, once I was wheeled into the OR, I was out within a minute! Next thng I knew, I was awake and it was over! Just consider the operation an hour nap! :-D

I just hate surgery. I'm hoping nothing goes wrong and scared about how difficult my recovery will be. Ugh!

I'm scheduled for surgery Wednesday and I'm scared that I have made a wrong decision. I haven't been able to follow liquid diet completely.

From what I've read the nerves about making the wrong decision are normal, but of course you should think it through. I didn't follow my liquid diet completely until today and yesterday. Honestly my doc didn't seem to worried about it. He basically said, "try your best". I had a few servings of tuna throughout the week.

Yes. Feeling nervous is normal. But I'm two weeks out, feeling good and happy I did it! You'll be awake and past the scary part in the blink of an eye. You will do fine!☀️

Thanks so much for the info. My big day is tomorrow.

      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!
