Recommended Posts

Oh I'm so nervous and happy. Today I belive I get a weight in when I see the surgeon. Tomorrow my surgery day I'm all having thoughts that run through my head. . Am I that big do I really need this now? But there is one that sticks to me and that is why I'm still going through it. I hoping everything will be ok today and I get good news.

Stephanie, you can do this! Whenever I've faced some pretty daunting tasks, like walking into a surgery room three different times, I just focused on how great I'll feel an hour afterwards. Maybe not physically, but mentally I know I'll be so proud of myself for accomplishing such a big goal.

But most importantly, before they wheel you away towards your new life, take a moment to say goodbye to your old self. A therapist once told me that I was afraid of success. I do believe that. It's not failure that haunts me, because I'm very comfortable with that. But to make a change, and stepping out of my comfort zone, is absolutely terrifying. I think for whatever reason, most of us in this situation are afraid of success. Some of us, like myself, are afraid to see just how great we can become. We self sabotaged ourselves so indefinitely, we carved out this safe niche with food and stretchy pants.

Tomorrow is your change, butterfly. You'll be more than fine.

      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!
