Just don't know what to do....

Ok - I am scheduled for surgery May 2nd -I have my EGD tomorrow- so - I sat down with my DH and talked to him about this whole process- (not that I havn't been talking non-stop about it the last 3 months) but I think he finally understood what I was doing last night and now tells me that he does not want me to do it- but that if "I" choose to do it anyway- he will support me- which I am grateful for but I am just at a lost for words- this whole time he has just kept saying yeah I think you should- but now- why now- he thinks I will be sick for a long time- I have had a surgery every year for the last five years and just now feeling up to par after the last one- I think may be why he is questioning it- but thought I would get on here and ask you what you all think- what should I tell him- he is just worried- but so am I- just questioning a lot right now...

He is just scared for your safety. My DH was the same way. And even until I just had it done, was opposed, but supported me because I was so set on it. Just be calm and keep explaining. He may not feel better until it is done and you are losing and becoming healthier. ;)

Yup, I am doing well, and dropping pounds everyday! Not enough yet to see anything, but I definitely feel good. 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!
