Morning all,

Today is my surgery day. Just got dressed in my super cute surgery gown, lol. So far, feeling calm. Not nervous actually. But hungry! First time. But, it's due to my own issue. I was so focused on drinking extra Water that I forgot to drink my last Protein Shake. Nurses getting me ready are great.

Good Luck! :1355_pray_tone1:

My surgery is at 730 am- I’m due in at 5:30. You can talk to me about things :) message me!
I’m glad to be going in the morning, best time of day for surgery. It’s going to be hard falling asleep tonight.

i miss food so much - I keep dreaming of the fattiest things like cheese fondue, pizza, fajitas! But I know that’s my body in starvation mode trying to convince me to eat for survival.

looking forward to the next steps!!

Good Luck! :1355_pray_tone1:

Sorry about that! Yes, I'm suppose to have a seperate pre-op appointment with the hospital. No one has contacted me yet though. I was just wondering if anyone else is still waiting to do their pre-op appt at the hospital and what it might consist of?

Mine was over the phone with a nurse. They basically went over what to do or not do before surgery. No solid food after midnight day before surgery, I was prescribed an anti nausea medication to take 3 hours before surgery with 2 extra strength Tylenol and Gatorade and to not have anything at all after 2 hours prior to surgery. They told me where to go to check in, etc. and basically gave me the run down of what to expect. They're sure I knew what surgery I was having and that I had support at home. All I'm all it was more informative than anything. Best of luck!

Pre-Op appointment scheduled for April 14th. Instructed to start the pre-op diet today. If everything goes as planned, hoping surgery date will be following week! Crossing my fingers! 🤞

      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!
