I can not believe my long journey is almost over - I know that tomorrow will bring a new journey and right now I say, bring it!!

I am excited but also really nervous. I haven't had surgery since I was eight years old and am worried about so many things.

Any advice??

I'm only 5 days post op. Just take it one hour at a time and let yourself feel whatever you are going to feel. Thinking of you tomorrow!

Be excited! Know that worrying is normal for all of us prior to the big day. Take some deep breaths, say a prayer for the skills of your surgeon and you will soon be on the losers bench with the rest of us.

Take one breath at a time, relax, let your surgeons do their thing, and think positive thoughts. You will make it through this! Sending positive thoughts your way. :rolleyes:

      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!
