Looking for buddies Late March/Early April surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm new here and just looking to make some friends who are on a similar timeline. My surgery is scheduled for 3/28/17. I'm starting to get nervous

About me: I live in the greater Cincinnati area on a 200 acre farm with my husband and our 5 dogs, 7 cats, 2 horses, and many cows and chickens. I am 34 years old and suffer from generalized anxiety and depression, and some social anxiety. I am an introverted person, so making friends online is easier. I love riding my horses, being outside, music, watching sports, and reading. After surgery I hope to get back into running, weight lifting, and hiking. I am an open-minded and sensitive person.

My biggest fear currently is that I will have the surgery and still manage to fail by regaining weight or not losing. I've struggled with my weight on and off since my teens.

Looking forward to sharing the journey!

My pre op is tomorrow. And surgery is set for 4/6. Originally it was 3/30 but the dr is away that week. I'm nervous/ excited / scared all at the same time

My surgery is 3/26 and I am already on my pre-op diet. It will get easier as time goes and I am sure that you will succeed. Positive thoughts brings postive results. Know and believe you can and you will.

Hi. My surgery is planned on 29th of March, and I have to be admitted on 27th. I am anxious about it. I have not disclosed it to anyone despite my husband as it would open further discussions in family and work. I am hoping everything would go smooth.

I have surgery 3/30. I have only told my hubby & my bestie who is also a medical doctor. I don't want to hear anything anyone else has to say. Especially when I had a previous WLS (LapBand that was defective & had to be removed)... I have enough going on not to have to deal with the negativity of others. I am hoping to find support here though.

      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!
