Finally got my date!



Recommended Posts

I saw the surgeon today and I will be banded on December 5, 2011!!! I will have to stay for 2 days as I am also having several hernia repairs. I was told I had 3 ventral hernias and I was only aware of two. Had the barium swallow this morning and found out about the hiatal hernia..that make it 4! My surgeon said he will be able to take care of it all but it will take a few hours. I had a surgical breast biopsy a week ago and found out today that it was benign! I am so looking forward to this surgery being over with and starting my new healthy life.

congrats! i was so happy when i got my surgery date. because of insurance issues, it took 3 years. and then it was less then a week away once they gave me the date. my surgeon found a hernia and my stomach was too high, but even with the scans and such pre-op, they only found it when i was in surgery, good thing they did the surgery. so good luck!

      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!
