I have both my Nut pre op today and my hospital pre op testing today. I'm nervous that they'll find something to postpone my surgery because it has happened to others. I haven't had any bad labs really before...so I'm hoping I won't have any issues now. DAY 4 with NO SODA! This is a HUGE deal for me!!!! I'm proud of me. I do still miss it...but I hope by the time a few months pass I will no longer want it. Wish me luck! I'm thinking of all ya'll having surgery today! ((hugs))

I did my pr-eop Monday. Previous to that my surgeon ordered and EKG which turned out abnormal. I was put through another EKG, a heart sonogram, a thallium stress test ( where they put radioactive Fluid in your veins) and tread mill. I was really freaking out thinking I was gonna have heart bypass surgery not VSG. After all of that I asked the Cardiologist what was wrong and he said he couldn't find anything. You will be fine. Just think of it as another step to prepare for your surgery. They might give you this little red Bracelet to wear that has your type and cross match on it. I have gotten some weird looks because I have to wear it until my surgery which they finally decided was next Tuesday. I think with pre-ops, no news is good news.

Good luck sweetie. I know how hard it is I quit drinking soda and it was the hardest thing I have ever done atleast it seems like it lol. Switched to tea, then green tea, then on my pre op diet I can't have anything with cafeeine. Thats going to be really hard. Hope everything goes well for you! :)

      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!
