Hi Everyone!

This is my 1st ever post. My surgery is tomorrow 10-12-07. I'm having a hard time expressing my feelings. Maybe it's because this pre-op liquid diet is making me very irritable. With all my insurance woes and family obligations it's taken me a year to get to this point. Am I ready? My heart tells me yes:whoo:...

but my stomach... well that's another story.:think

Hang in there! You will be fine. I was an emotional mess too before I had the surgery. But I"m doing just fine and you will too!

I agree that the day before is stressful and you start to second guess yourself. If it took a year to get here, I am sure that you are ready as you would have bailed a long time ago! :) Good luck to you!

I had my surgery on Tuesday, October 9. 2 days post-op and I am up and about with minimal soreness, mainly when I get up from a sitting/laying position. I've had no nausea and my biggest physical complaint has been gassiness (I feel full of air). My incisions are really only sore if you touch them directly. I showered yesterday with no pain at all. I wish you the best!!

      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'. ???

      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!
