Just got my date; July 30th. Happy but scared of surgery! The more I read about "complications" such as blood clots, I get a little afraid.

Talk these over with your surgeon. Mine gives me 20 days of blood thinner injections to do at home to avoid blood clots

I suspect I'll say ditto too, I bet Dr Needleman will put me on💉 Lovenox also. Remember I am also 72-- so age is also an increased risk. If I got to vote, I'd go for Xarelto, had it post both knee replacements, worked great and it's pills.😝

Mine too!!! It's coming so fast too.....My first appointment was less than a month ago. At least it's so fast that I don't have time to freak out too badly. But, still a little worried about the unknown.......

I’ve just been trying my best to focus on what to take with me to the hospital and not on what can go wrong. I had to do 7 months of pre-op visits so it’s given me more than enough time to think about everything. I’ve almost canceled twice!

mckenzie....

We all freak a little. I try not to think about what they will be doing during surgery. I have faith in my surgeon. And I know he will help me and take care of me no matter what happens later. Most do not have problems. If i made it through a open hysterectomy which i had cut opened then this is doable for sure. We are all in this together.

      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!
