Nervous. Surgery this Monday 1/16



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

I'm super nervous. My surgery was supposed to be 1/26 but I got a call yesterday asking if I could go January 16th instead. Everything is happening super fast. I'm most nervous about eating post-op. Not sure if my rambling is making much sense, but I just needed to vent a little.

It was rough at first but every day got exponentially better for me and I'm so-ooo glad I went through with it!!! It's amazing and a wonderful tool. Just keep reading and asking here and you will know we all support you and will be with you

Drink lots of water!!!! I drank Water till 11:59pm. The first two days are hard. Get walking as soon as they let you. First day they would only allow me ice and my mouth got so dry. Second day I was cleared to drink Water, broth, Jello and ice pops sugar free of course. It's very emotional too. Have a buddy be there to support you. Keep us posted. I had mine on the ninth of January.

Everyone is nervous so don't worry about that aspect. If you have faith in your doctor, then be confident that all will go as planned and you will be just fine, They will take care of you in the hospital and show you what you need to do. Keep reading the info they gave you and follow the rules and all will be well. Good luck and see you on the "loser's bench"

      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!
