Hello everyone..

My surgery is Wednesday.. the 5th and I am so excited. Well and nervous too. :faint: But I know things will go well. I am on this drug that they made me start taking a week prior to surgery. It is supposed to help protect my heart and stuff during surgery. They said they give it to people who have hypertension and or diabetes. I have both.. lucky me.. So my blood pressure is real low and I have been so dizzy and feeling icky.. Today wasn't as bad as yesterday though.

So cannot wait! 5th is the day and I am so excited! Wish me luck and I will be amongst the banders!

Love,

Donna :)

Good Luck on your surgery... Mine is not far behind yours on the 25th. I just had my Gall bladder removed two days ago so I am in the healing mode.. I can't wait to get this done, and the surgery I just had is said to very simular to the lap band procedure. I must say its alot easier than I expected. Well good luck and keep us posted on how you are doing...

Hey gang! I am home.. since yesterday and doing very well. Had trouble with the pain meds but now just taking Tylenol and it works fine. I had alot of port pain but today I am just sore. Kinda like a pulled muscle. Can't really bend over good so picking up things is hilarious. I do this "Matrix" leg stretch move to get what I need or to feed the kitties. LOL

My diet is liquid.. carnation instant Breakfast, popsicles, Jello, cream of chicken or mushroom Soup (strained), egg drop soup.. I will be on that until I see the doc on the 14th.

That is all for now guys.. I feel a nap coming on.. oh yeah did I tell you I am tired??? whew!

Hugz,

DonnaMarie:p

      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!
