Having 2nd thoughts



Recommended Posts

I am 10 days away from surgery and I am questioning the decision I am making. I don't know if it is nerves or what is going on. Im 6 days into my PRE op diet. Haven't lost a pound. Feeling discouraged and thinking about changing my mind. How do I know if this is the right choice for me.

I think we all go through that questioning stage. I know I did.

Only you can answer if its right for you.

Can you do what is required of you as far as eating the right foods and limiting your portions?

Are you ready to change your lifestyle?

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.

Yes we all go through the "should I or shouldnt I phase". I did it right up until they put me under. I am so happy I went through with it. Although I am still a newbie, I was ready for a change. Its not easy but once you start seeing a difference you dont want to go back to your old ways.

God luck in what ever you decide.

Becks, I went through a horrible time a couple weeks ago feeling like this. I questioned everything you can think of.. Did I make the right decision, did I chose the right clinic, did I do enough research on this clinic, are the surgeons going to kill me, ... My list goes on and on. I had so much anxiety and panic I couldn't stand myself.

I called the clinic I am going to and let them know how I was feeling. They gave me reassurance and answered all of my questions also consulting with me more.

I am now at ease and my surgery is on Monday. :)

      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.

      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!
