I got a call this morning from the hospital that my surgury is scheduled for July 26. I had no idea that it was going to happen so fast. My feelings immediately went from excitement to fear. I guess that is normal. The first task is trying to find babysitters for all my children. I have seven of them lol. I have four of my own and three step children that I take care of full time. I have a wonderful supportive husband, but his ex is not that helpful at all. This is all so sureal. I am very excited to start my journey. I have to go in for bloodwork tommorow and an akg. I have a pre-op apointment july 14th. I can't believe this is happening still kind of shocked. Is there anyone who has the same date as me? Would love to have some sisters :) I am so happy right now. :D

Samething happened today to me also. I go July 26 also. I know how you feel. I was shocked, worried, then happy. Now mine is as a outpatient.

I saw on another forum where some women where asking to stay a day or so in the hospital because of the kids. They get more rest away from home.

      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!
