Hi everyone-

I'm so excited (not just because Project Runway is on tonight LOL) Today I got a ton of my diagnostic stuff done! My surgeons scheduler has been awesome and she booked me in for ultrasound, chest x-ray, EKG & pulmonary workup, labs, and my EGD all for today! Everything went really smoothly. I didn't even mind the fasting. I got a nice long nap this afternoon after we got home and now I'm just taking it easy.

Only a few more things until it is surgery date! Woot!

Hey, way to go.

I am still waiting for my Psyc Consult, Stress EKG and my Nutritionist. I was approved for the surgery, but the little things are killing me.

I thought maybe it was just me....Im so worn down from all these tests and appointments. It doesnt help that my work is kinda pissy when I am gone too much. I already did the psych, nutritionist, a physical, 6 months worth of appointments with my general practicioner, and endoscopy, a sleep study, and a pulmonary function test. I have a surgery date so all I have left is the pre admission testing (which takes about 2 - 2 1/2 hours) and one other small blood test. Its just exhausting chasing around making sure everyone got everything they were supposed to get. Not to mention, they are about to submit my paperwork to Cigna, so stressing about that too. Ahhhh! I hope I make it to September 8th without jumping out my 12th floor window at work!:biggrin:

      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!
