Tomorrow is my surgery day!! I started at 428 and am at 395 when I go in for surgery. I had my last meal yesterday... Cheesesteak, fries, Coca-cola, and king cake!! I'm on liquids today. Low sodium chicken broth and sugar free Popsicles!! I have to be at the surgical center for 9:30am and they should start surgery at 11/11:30!! I'm so nervous and yet excited!!

I'm excited for you! I was scared and thrilled at the same time too! I am only 5 days post op, but honestly, so far I have had no problems and very little pain. I never even had to take the pain Meds they sent me home with (I did this as outpatient surgery.). Don't be scared, it was way less painful than I imagined.

I guess I'm more nervous about the after effects. Today I'm hungry and have a headache. I still have to make my bed and take the shower with the special soap but I'm so ready to get this part done! A new life even if it will still be hard work!

The pre op diet was the worse part of the whole thing for me. I was so freakin hungry! The post op has been a piece of cake in comparison because I have zero hunger for the first time in my life! My understanding is that hunger does eventually return but I am enjoying the hell out of it right now!

How did surgery go?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It went very smoothly. It took about an hour and I slept on and off most of the day yesterday. I have a bit of gas but not too bad and I'm sore as hell but I have meds for that. I'm already home. I'm sipping on beef broth and Water and I'll have a popsicle later. I'm so excited to start on this journey.

      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!
