It's Finally Here!



Recommended Posts

My time is finally here! I am heading off to the hospital in just 1 hour for my surgery!

My name is Gayle and I am 21 year old female that is hypothyroid and weighs 400 lbs. I am still surprised with myself that I have made the decision to have this surgery, and it still doesn't feel real yet. I guess I am still afraid something will happen to make the surgery get canceled!

I made it all the way through the liquid pre op diet, and that wasn't even that hard! My mouth right now is kind of dry, but I am not supposed to have anything to eat or drink after midnight so I guess I will just have to put up with that. I didn't sleep much, too much excitement. Actually haven't been sleeping well for about a week now! I am so ready for this to happen for me! I will post about my surgical experience later, but I just couldn't wait to post about this! Thanks everybody!

      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!
