My surgery is September 12th. Pre-op starts 8-22. I have to do 3weeks. I'm with you -RSM.... this is going to be tough. Especially since my wedding anniversary is 9-3 and my husband and I are going out of town then we are headed to Cali on 9-7. I get back on the 10th then surgery is the 12th. I was telling my husband how in the world am I going to do this [emoji24][emoji36]

A few of us on the 6th now! My surgeon says no pre-op diet is necessary, but seeing that just about everyone else is going to be on one makes me want to do it anyhow.

Mine says I should do 3 week no carb and 3 days full liquid right before. Apparently these help shrink the liver so the surgery is a little easier and can be moved out of the way. Can possibly help avoid an extra incision.

      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!
