Surgery TOMORROW



Recommended Posts

Oh gosh, I am so nervous.

I've been trying to keep busy as much as possible, but I've been having stress heart burn and runs (it's nothing I ate or anything, it just happens when I'm super stressed).

My surgery is at 930am tomorrow. I am so worried that something will go wrong and I can't go through... I've followed all the rules and did my best, but... I am literally vibrating.

Good luck! It will be tough in the beginning, but just remember it is your health at stake. You will be fine, but prepare your mind and know you can do it!

I was just wondering what you were doing in Vegas. I came on here to check on you and omg...my stomach does the same thing due to stress/nerves. Nothing is going to go wrong, don't put that energy into the universe even if you think it. Put the energy out that, you are going to have a surgery that you are prepared to handle the pain and recovery process. Believe that you are worthy of whatever you envision and those will be your results with hard work and dedication. You are the only one physically going through this process, but you are not alone in this.

Besides, the rest of us January people need a very candid and detailed account from those of you before us. I live alone, so I need to know what to do and how to prepare my mind....

I live in Nevada, so my surgery center is in Vegas, so I figured I'd live it up with shows and fun.

I'm doing better; I had to call my surgeon to make sure imodium was ok. I'm sitting watching TV and sipping Water while I can- I have another 50 minutes before I can't have more until after.

I will keep y'all posted. I'm trying my best and I am very fortunate to have a lot of support, including you guys. It does make it feel so much better that I'm not alone in this.

The congratulations is because through all of the stress and panic, you made it through lady. Thankfully you had a team of professionals who helped you through the panic attack, praying for you and that pain.

Honestly (knock on wood), my back and throat hurt pretty bad, but that's about it. My throat because they did my endoscopy and leak test at the same time (I'm SO happy I didn't have to be awake for that). I'm up walking about every 30-45 minutes, and am super glad I can bring burps up pretty easy right now. My husband has to get me up to early every two hours tonight when I go to bed, so it's gonna be a long night.

      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!
