As of Wednesday I was all clear. However, the pulmonologist read my sleep study which shows I have severe sleep apnea. He is going to try and get connected w my own machine before my surgery on the 11th- I told him that I don't want to delay my surgery. Its been scheduled for 6 mos. Anyone hear about this being an issue? Cant they just have a cpap and adjust at the time of the surgery? The dr’s office had my report.

Has anyone in early January had a pre op appointment yet, where they tell you what your pre op diet will be ? I havent had it yet and I am 1/11. I read the guidelines and its not totally liquids. That surprised me.


I've had mine however my Dr told me I only needed 1 day liquid anything else was my choice. Shocking based on everyone's story but I belive it depends on your body type and lab work. I still started liquid 12/26 to prepare myself mentally for what's to come I follow step 2 for pre op

My program requires it of everyone across the board, 2 weeks Clear Liquids, with 4-5 Protein Shakes a day. It's just their protocol. I dislike it but I learned a new thing, I can do liquids for 2 weeks. I've been very rigid about it and these past few days it's been harder cravings wise, but the days are going by.

      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.

        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!
