Good Day to everyone! Hope everyone is feeling well. I have a question for those of you who have already had their surgery…what words of wisdom do you have for those of us who have upcoming surgery?

My clinic is allowing me to have Protein Shakes up until the day before. Just so you stay on track, I would reach out to your medical team and ask.

Remember it is worth it and follow doctors order afterward to a t to avoid unnecessary complications. I had bypass 7/5 and I'm sore but it's not horrible. Keep moving and work the gas out. Good luck on your upcoming journeys

Tuesday for me! I just had my last bit of solid food, a spoon of Peanut Butter as my last snack. Per my dr, loading up on Tylenol ahead of time. Tomorrow is liquid only and my last day at work for 3 blessed weeks.

We have an hour drive after work, a ferry ride (I love ferry rides!) and then about 30 minutes to the hotel. I'm mostly packed, just deodorant, my tablet, and Kindle. Maybe a spindle for spinning yarn.

I have my pre op appointment today. My surgery is scheduled for 26th. I’ve been cleared for my psych eval. I am self pay so I will be making my payments today. I can’t believe this is happening.

Hi everyone - my surgery is actually tomorrow. For some reason I’m weirdly calm right now. Maybe the nerves will set in tomorrow?

Unfortunately my procedure isn’t until late in the day… lots of time to think…

I am one week out today. I had my surgery last Monday. The worry and anxiety before were way worse than the past week has been. Today I feel really good.

      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!
