At the top of a rollar coaster ride



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

Well, the time is near. In two days, I will finally be sleeved. This journey so far has been full of emotional ups and downs for me. My original surgery date was a month ago on Aug. 11th. But, then my grandmother passed away the week I was s upposed to have surgery. Not even 10 days later a very close uncle of mine passed away. I've been snapping at the fiance over trival things because this pre-op diet (extended) has gotten me so irritable. Yesterday he finally just hugged me asn finally asked if I was OK. I"ll be flying out for my rescheduled surgery tomorrow morning and being sleved on the 14th. Wow. It's here. The feeling I have now is the one you get when you're climbing the first hill of a rollar coaster. click click click click... you hear the noise as you inch further and further towards the sky and the only thing you feel is that knot in the pit of your stomach. And you say to yourself (or maybe even out loud) "why am i doing this!! I want to get off this ride!" So, on the inside i''m screaming lol. And unlike being strapped into a rollar coaster, there is still a way out for me. I sometimes feel that I might jump ship, but I try to repress that feeling as much as Possible. I know this is the right choice. So maybe once I reach the top of the rollar coaster, and edge over that hill and look down i'll be able to see my whole life that is waiing ahead. And then they'll be screams of joy.

Pgulr, we all wish you the bast and you have are deepest condolences on your loss. I have to forewarn you; for most the roller coaster doesn't stop after surgery, there will be plenty of dips and hills to come - just be prepared.

Good luck in the surgery, keep us informed of the outcome. Look forward to hearing you tell us that PHAT means Pretty Hot And Tempting :)

      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!
