Tomorrow's the day, and now I'm nervous!!



Recommended Posts

I have been so excited and positive, but now I'm honestly a little scared - surgery and all! Trying to stay upbeat for my husband and kids (8 of them!) [emoji12] I was actually looking forward to one quiet night! Lol! Just thought I would post and see if anyone else felt the same before surgery?

You should be nervous! You're having surgery! When I had it more than three years ago, I was scared out of my mind. I was convinced I was going to die on the operating table. It's perfectly okay to feel nervous. You are not alone.

It's completely normal to be nervous! A few weeks ago I was perusing my Fitbit app and noticed that I had data on my surgery day (I didn't take it off until they came to wheel me to theatre) and my heart rate was going crazy that morning.

Best of luck!

No matter what you're not alone!! take and deep breath think about how great you're going to feel and with eight kids you need to be healthy. I haven't even gotten my surgery date and I have up and downs. somedays I can't wait for the day I'm given my date and other days I think to myself, " What the f*** I'm I doing? I cant go through with this!!" In times of doubt hold on to all the reason why you wanted to do it, to begin with. It's going to be ok.

      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!
