ever since late yesterday afternoon, I have been so nervous about my surgery on the 30th.

the hospital called yesterday to confirm my pre op appt tomorrow and I just can't stop thinking about it. we spread out all the papers about post op last night and read through them again..

im not scared of the surgery, just nervous and excited about the procedure, about all the changes, etc..

but hey, if I can make it through three weeks of liquid pre op, I should be able to make it through anything, right?? :-)

I'll admit to being scared about the surgery... having severe sleep apnea and being put under scared the daylights out of me. But, in the end it was all worth it. Once you go home you'll realize that it was all worth doing, and you'll be glad the hospital part is behind you... :)

Nerves are a normal phase to LBS. There'd be something wrong with you, if you weren't a little nervous about the changes you're about to face.

Just know, its worth it!

Try to keep your mind on the knew and improved, healthier you. About cleaning out closets and drawers dozens of times ( think I've done that approx 7times now).

Keep your mind on the positive!

      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!
