So my surgeons office had me print out a 12 page questionair about my weight / history. Ive been asnwering honestly but some of these questions Im kind of scared to answer. Maybe if i answer wrong it will set my surgery back ?

For example :

What is the quailty of your sleep ? Good __ Fair __ poor __

How often do you wake up more than once durning the night ? Never _____ Always _____

Do you feel sleepy durning the day ?

Does beinf active make your chest feel right or make you wheeze ?

Now .. for one .. I have a new baby at home .. so no , i dont get alot of rest altho he is sleeping thro the night . So yes , i am tired durning the day sometimes . Yes , i do wake up at night but only because of my baby . And im FAT OF COURSE i feel out of breath when i excerise ! Do i wheeze ? No but im certainly out of breath ! How am i suppose to answer these questions ? I dont wanna say anything wrong . : / Whats up with the sleep apena test ? Do they want you to have a problem sleeping or not ? Is it better for insurance if you do ? Im so lost. =(

Just answer the questions honestly...if you feel the need to explain a few of them to the doctor then by all means do so. I think you're truly overthinking this, lol. It's like asking someone if the name you're writing on the paper is your own.

They're asking these questions to determine whether or not you may have underlying health conditions such as sleep apnea, asthma, etc. If you have sleep apnea then yes it can make getting approved for surgery a lot easier.

Yep, just be honest. Those questions are to determine if you have sleep apnea. They need to know these things for your own well being so be truthful. Don't read to much into it, just be honest.

I think I would answer the questions from before you had your baby. Yeah they just want to see if you have sleep apnea. You may have to go for a sleep study, to see

      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!
