I couldn't be more excited. Since I work in the OR, I am comfortable with going in. I have been on clean liquids since yesterday and I am starving. Of course, not really starving but it feels like it. Getting ready to get in the shower then head off to the hospital. Eeeekkkkkk! (girly scream)

Say a prayer for me today!

I am up! So my mom, hubby, cousin and neice arrived at the day surgery desk of the hospital at 5:15 as scheduled however there wasn't anybody to check us in until 5:30. No sweat of of my back.

Checked in, gowned and sitting in bed while my pre-op nurse comes in to tell me that my 7:15 surgery is delayed due to an emergency case who spent all night in the SICU and needs immediate attention. No big deal again. They move me to a private room verses a curtain partitioned room. My boss calls me via the pre-op nurse phone just to tell me she is thinking of me. This is sweet because she and I work in a hospital across town and she made some calls to find me! 12ish, the CRNA comes back and tells me it is almost my turn. Whew! I liked her, I really did like her. She came recommended to me and let's face it....I wasn't having just anybody monitor me while I was under anesthesia. That stuff is what scares the crap out of me. Around 12:30 I got some versed and by 1:00 it was lights out for me! I woke up around 2:00 and with terrible nausea and gas pains. Made it home but don't remember the ride. Slept, walked and pee'd until around 8ish. Now I am awake. Still no incision pain, just gas. Deep breathing exercises for me.

Now, I just am excited to start getting my old life back. Before the fat, I was thin. Here I come!

Thanks for the prayers ladies!

      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!
