Hi, everyone my name is Rossy,

I am having the surgery September 8th, I am very confused and nervous. Basically all the people I know that had this surgery done, had the 2 weeks liquid diet prior to the surgery. To me is a little different they have ask me to do a 2 days diet, don't know why. Another thing is that I am very nervous thinking about the day of the surgery, I've been thinking about me sleeping for all that time, what if something goes wrong, how long is it going to take, is it going to be quick? etc.

Those are some of the questiions that I have.

my whole surgery took 1-1/2 hours. I woke up in the operating room after and was awakw all the way to the ICU and moved myself into the bed... Not bad at all but pain is subjective...

take your meds on time and and eat like your are told. I found that the sugar free popcicles are really a blessing. I just buy the cheap Walmart ones and they are great. i ate 10 a day while I was on liquids....and still eat 2-4 a day... as a matter of fact im going to ge one now....

good luck!

Now I want a popsicle too. :)

The surgery will be like the blink of an eye for you since you'll be under anesthetic, I think at most it only takes a couple hours. All the jitters you're feeling are completely normal!

I didn't have to do a 2-week pre-op diet either, my surgeon said they didn't feel like the liver reduction made much of a difference for them. I just had to do clears the day before surgery.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
