Having surgery two days sooner than set date!



Recommended Posts

My doctor's office scheduler called and asked me if I would be okay with pushing my surgery date from Wednesday, May 4th to Monday the 2nd instead and

I said YESSSSSSSS. I am so ready for this and this is awesome news for me! The reason is my surgeon hurt her neck so she's on medical leave.

I will have another surgeon, but he works in the same office of surgeons and I have heard good things about him.

Just wanted to share with you guys my excitment. This will be the FIRST Monday I have ever looked forward to :)

Thanks, Marcia! Well it is almost here. A few more hours and I will be at the hospital waiting to get banded. Congratulations on your set date! I remember the day the doctor's office called me and said I was approved, I was the happiest person alive. Then when I got my surgery date, I was able to relax and know that the hard work and jumping through hoops with insurance company was worth it.

And now, it's here! I know what you mean..I have been counting down days and hours lol. I will come back and definitely share with you my experience. Please let me know if you have any questions so far.

I am also a May 2nd "bander!" I would love to hear how your first week is going. Mine has been very eye opening. Anxious to get back to work next week and see what happens!

      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!
