I just got a call from my surgeon's office and they told me that the surgeon isn't available on the day that I was scheduled for surgery so they have to change it. So instead of surgery on March 5th and arrival time at the hospital at 5:45 am, I will now be going on March 7th and arrival time at 9:30 am. I am bummed about the change, but at least it's only two days difference.

Bummer! Well, 2 days just gives you more days to ready yourself. It stinks having to wait though. I have no patience!

Finally someone who gets it! Yes, its only two days, but I was set on that day. Now I have to re-set on the 7th. I can do it, but I am not a patient person either! LOL

I have 2 weeks 2 days to go and honestly not sure if I am ever going to make it. I am ready for a change and when I set my mind to it...I don't want things like the surgeon's schedules or anything to make me wait. lol

That would make me crazy...My surgery was planned for March 15th and when I went in today we moved it up to March 1st which I am so excited about...also nervous. We are almost there! Yay

Oh boy, I understand. Sorry your date got postponed--it is frustrating when you have all your plans ready to go with time off work, babysitters, meals, etc. I'm glad it is only 2 days for you.

My surgery was supposed to be Feb 11th (yesterday). My surgeon postponed because pre-op lab work showed a high white blood count. Not significantly high, but he won't put an artificial apparatus in anyone with an abnormal WBC. So I'm finishing up my antibiotics today and will get rechecked again tomorrow. Who knows when it will happen. Next surgical date is the 25th. Ugh.

Bummer! And we were supposed to be surgery day twins! However, on the bright side you get to sleep in a little later on your surgery day. Just keep your eyes on the prize. We've all spent years as we are, you can do just 2 more days for sure.

      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!
