16 hours till I leave for the hospital! I've been on a clear liquid diet today. I've been keeping busy cleaning my house. I'm very nervous, haven't been put under in over 10 years.

Omg!!!! Bestest of luck!!! Everything will be fine stay positive, plus they might drug you a bit for the nervousness. [emoji1417]🤫

@vanwest83 I bet you're in surgery by now, but saying prayers for a smooth and successful surgery and an easy recovery. Can't wait to hear how it went!

Morning everyone! I feel like I need another weekend to get over my weekend! ha! Ok, more waiting for me. Will ask the surgeon for an update when I see her on Thursday. Today is PT again. That place smells SO badly of antiseptic...*sigh*

How are you guys? How are all the people who've already had surgery? Updates anyone??

I second that!!! Wishing you a successful surgery and fast healing!!!

We all need another weekend and a long vacation .. Bahamas or something.
Good luck with your PT hope this one is less stressing (tiring) than the last one.

The ONE THING I would suggest getting (after my hosp experience) is a zip up or snap up mid length or long night gown for post op hospital stay & all the walking!!! It was the only thing I ended up using of all the stuff I packed!!!! Oh and a sports bra which is much more comfy while in bed & when up to walk!! I actually got a pretty cute one at Walmart! Who knew?!!

Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. The hospital just called I’m to report there at 10:30am. I’m so anxious! It’s like when I was a child on Christmas Eve. [emoji847]

      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!
