Surgery monday, august 10.



Recommended Posts

I am set for surgery monday, just found out this monday, had almost giving up and got a call on my cell phone . It was the Doctors Office said they had everthing they needed and i was scheduled for surgery, had a preop class yesterday. Friday i have a gallbladder scan. and meet with the doc. Have to have clear liguid diet sat. and sun. I am starting to get nervous. but i want this pretty bad . I am Divorced and live along . They said i needed to have somone stay with me for 3 days. so i lied and told them i had someone...LOL. My girlfriend doesnt want me to have it, so she is out of the picture now . so I am going to go it along. My son is supportive of me doing this so it wont be so bad. sorry for the rambling. Just excited and scared at the same time...

Do you have someone to take you home after the procedure? I think thats the one time you really do need someone else around...

I applaud you Buck. You are going for it despite what some others think. You are doing this for you- congrats bud.

I am being banded on August 14th here in Canada. Regulations are a bit different here but the results from the banding are the same for sure.

I am glad your son is supporting you-my husband is EXTREMELY supportive as well.

I know all about the feelings of fear and excitement..lol. It's a mixed bag hey? I wanted you to know that someone is thinking of you and wishing you all the best in your journey. I know things will go well for you and that you n me both are on our way to a greater peace and happiness.

Good luck my friend... and drop me a few lines when you get healed up and rested if you can.

All my best,

Beth from Canada:thumbup: :sneaky:

      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!
