Surgery date 2/7/2017



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, so I just got my surgery date. And I must admit I am very nervous and executed.

Initially I had wanted to get the sleeve done but my surgeon insists that bypass is better for long term results. I am looking for long term results but the bypass procedure is a bit more invasive than the sleeve and that works my nerves.

I just wanted to share that I got my date! #fistpumps. #teamfeburary

Did your surgeon put you on a pre-op diet ?

I start mine on Monday. It consist of 4 Protein shakes a day. 1 high Protein snack and 1 very limited meal. Kinda nervous about it lol

I'm a longtime lurker on this website and have just gotten my surgery date, too.

Excited and nervous, but glad to see some others here headed for surgery soon, too!

Best of luck to you all - I'm so ready for this.

Congratulations!!! Super close! How is your pre op diet going?

My pre-op diet did not go so well. I really only got a good week in instead of two. When I buckled down, I felt sick. But I got through it!

      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!
