My surgery is tomorrow as well. Surprisingly I am calmer than previous days. This forum helped to ease a lot of my fears (and created some new ones :) ). I wish for us all best of luck for tomorrow and the journey after.

I. Too, go in morning for sleeve surgery. I'm not the least bit nervous. Guess everyone is different. More ready than some I guess. Good Luck!

My surgery is tomorrow also and I'm nervous, too. I've just kept frenetically busy all week preparing and also doing some fun stuff. We installed a wood stove and I spent a lot of time getting wood etc., so this way I can think about coming home to a cozy fire instead of worrying.

Good luck holly! Your gonna do great!

Perfectly normal to be scared. Your surgeon has done this a lot and has seen everything, so not to worry. My surgery was very easy, minimal pain after waking. Nausea only when I took morphine so stuck to tylenol. Walking day one. Stopped pain med day two. By end of week one, it didn't even feel like I'd had surgery. Only discomfort was the drain and once that was out it was smooth sailing. You wil do great and wish you all the best.

Just curious, what drain? This is the first time I heard of a drain. What is it for and how long did you have 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!
