I head to the hospital Monday morning at 7:15am! Surgery should be around 10:30am.

I feel very calm in many ways but I'm anxious too if that makes any sense. I'm totally committed to this and to life after but I came home from my final pre-op appointments yesterday wanting tastes of this and that- like I baked a sweet potato to eat tomorrow as my last meal... bizarre.

Anyone else Monday? I can't get into the January 2012 sleevers forum to post there...

Given the time difference, you'll probably be out by the time I head in! Good luck!! Hope things go perfectly for you!

Ok ladies! we're so close!! Today is my only pre-op liquids-only day and sitting at costco with my mom and son and their hot dogs was interesting. Usually I'd be joining in with a piece of pizza...

I need to head out to pick up my meds and go in search of some sugar-free popsicles at Target. Then, take down the Christmas tree and few outside lights. After that maybe a movie?

Cristin, Kareforme - GOOD LUCK tomorrow!!! It's going to be a good day!

Same with me.. today was my only Clear Liquids day, but I still really watched myself this week and did a lot of Protein Shakes. I'm really hungry, so I am glad this surgery is first thing in the morning!!

      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!
