Congrats! I was just scheduled as well. I start pre-op on Monday and have surgery on March 2nd. Good luck!

my surgery date is the same day! March 2nd.........i start my liver reduction diet tomorrow...i am having second thoughts, but I am sure that my feelings are normal. Just nervous and wondering how I am going to transition my life from all about eating to well not? How will I go weeks on end without eating....this forum helps though.

Band sisters...I love it! Had my first shake this morning, but I normally have a shake for Breakfast, I'm sure that by lunch it'll hit me.

I'm having second thoughts mainly due to the anesthesia. Its funny because I've dealt with cancer before and have had multiple surgeries, but for some reason I am terrified beyond belief!

I'm afraid to have my first PB, stuck episode and all the other things that come with it. I do love the fact that I have great support systems.

Let's keep each other updated!

No fear u came this far, I just had gallbladder surgery in Jan. The anatheshia is the greatest part. I was out before I hit the operating room. I am worried abt the shoulder pain I had with the galbladder surg. Its from the co2 and the sore throat from the breathing tub. But, it will be worth it when I can wear shorts this summer. I am on the liver reduction diet. Its tough so far..is yours total liquid diet? ? Popiciles never tasted so good. Are u on Facebook?

      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!
