I am fairly new here. I just got my surgery date April 26! I go for egd this Friday and ekg next Tuesday. This means I start my pre-op diet this Sunday :( oh well, I've had a lot of Easter Sunday dinners --missing one won't be the end of the world.

I have a lot of nerves going on--I'm afraid something bad will happen.

Prayers and positive thoughts are much appreciated!

I have the same surgery date - I'm nervous too. This part of the process happened really fast for me. I went in for my nutrition appointment on a Monday, got the go ahead, got insurance approval by that Thursday, had my surgical consultation the following Thursday and was put on the schedule for Wednesday 4/26, pre-surgery screening yesterday and now here I am. After a little over a year doing the seminars and nutrition appointments, it felt like it was never going to happen and now it's all happening really fast.

Wishing you the best of luck and a quick, healthy recovery.

I pray that you have a great surgery and speedy recovery. I'm heading to hospital for mines this morning. I will try and keep posting to give some insights.

      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.

      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!
