Finally the day I have been waiting for since beginning this whole process in October is less than 24 hours away! I have a whole rush of emotions... nervous, anxious, excited, terrified.. I hope this is all normal. I will be in the hospital until Wednesday, possibly Thursday but I should be out by Wednesday. Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. We are all going to kick some butt!! I just keep reminding myself of how awesome it's going to be a year from now.

Here we go! :)

My surgery is tomorrow too. I have already lost 14 pounds in two weeks of the pre-op diet. I am really excited about this too. At the same time terrified. This is my first ever surgery.

Ive got my surgery tomorrow as well.....and still haven't heard from my facility or doctor about my preop instructions and the time they need me at the hospital...etc. It makes me nervous but not anymore nervous then I would have been if I had all this info. already. I did start my own liquid diet on the 3rd and I cheated last night for a mothers day dinner and ate some sushi. But I still lost about 4 pounds and I still have today chaulked full of Protein so maybe I'll get another pound off. I plan on doing some excersises tonight...a bit of walking and riding a bike. I dunno why.... just sounds like a good idea alll of a sudden. haha. I will be at Marina Del Ray with Dr. Feiz. I plan on being back at school by thursday for testing and stuff. I am nervous, excited, anxious,.....just a whirlwind of emotions. I hope that when I am about to go under I don't do anything crazy like start crying and talking like a nutt. And My Preop shower will be very thorough. My belly button will be getting its fair share of attention (I hear doctors find some wild stuff in belly buttons), my legs will be smooth and everywhere else will be handled--sry TMI. I got my toes and fingers done at the nail place yesturday. It kind of feels like I am getting ready for a big date or something....haha. I guess I am. Anywho...good luck to both of you and can't wait to hear about everybody's recovery process too. I'll keep in touch. -Steph

Today is my first full day of just liquids then tomorrow surgery at 8:30! We are all going to do awesome! Let me know how you girls do!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
