Got my surgery date today!



Recommended Posts

I have been over weight for what seems like forever. I am 5'9" and heavy weight of 282. I am down to current weight of 260 with a goal of below 160. I am so ready for this! I had a heart attack on 7/9/2015 and have several other health problems as well. Arthritis in my back hinders a lot of activity and I am looking forward to that improving with less weight to carry. All pre surgery testing scheduled for 2/14/2017 :) any advice on the clear liquid diet would be appreciated. I have chosen a few different Protein drinks to get me through so I should be good there. Any other February 2017 R N Y patients out there?

Yay!!! I got my date last week and had planned on 2/20 but settled on 2.28 so my mom could be here. I'm so ready - I've always been athletic and still play softball weekly and do kickboxing but thanks to PCOS and other stuff it's hard for me to lose weight. I'm about to be 32 and need an extra tool in dropping weight with the main goal of getting pregnant for the first time shortly. I recommend Unjury Protein Drinks and their chicken broth and u flavored Protein to help get your protein in. I wonder if there is a good forum for the 2 week pre op diet anywhere ...... good luck!!!!

Hope you're doing well. I'm now 7 day post op and the first 3 days were awful! How is second week diet going? I'm so ready for puréed food

      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!
