WOOHOO June 14th date!



Recommended Posts

I have FINALLY been rescheduled!!! I am "ON" for next Tuesday, June 14th!! YAY!

I had been about to be wheeled into surgery on May 24th when they realized my potassium was super low.

Since I have Chron's disease/ulcerative colitis, everyone had a freak out thinking it was due to the disease.

If so, they were thinking it might be like 6 months or more before I could get the surgery done.

Luckily, it was due to my preop diet!! LOL! I was unable to do Slimfast...the lactose just tore me up...so I was doing 2 Isopure ready made drinks per day plus one meal and Water. I had lost 18 pounds in 2 weeks...so they think that is what caused the potassium drop. DUH!

I am a Physical Therapist by degree...you would think I would know about electrolytes. Ha ha!

Anyway, as many of you know....I was TOTALLY frustrated! So dog gone excited to get back on track!

I can hardly wait til next week! I will keep you posted on my last, last week of preop wt. loss...and figure out how to fix up a ticker to track it etc.

Thanks to everyone here for all your support and encouragement!!

I am doing the party dance today!!!!!!

:)

      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!
