5 Days Out And Starting To Get The Jitters!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm having my surgery on Feb 13th, i am 6 night and 5 days away from my surgery day! I am very excited, and i know i'm prepared. I'm not sure what i'm feeling. I don't know if its nerves, then again, i don't get very nervous often. I just feel like now it's a sitting game, waiting to day. I've been taking prolisec like my doctor told me to, and i'm starting a 5 day liquid pre-op just to do it. tomorrow i'm going to pick up everything on my shopping list, i ordered some Isopure and Protein powder too.... I just feel like, i don't know it's hard to explain. It's almost butterflies, it's like i'm so prepared that i don;t think i am prepared, but i don't know what else i can or should do.

Anyway, i was just wondering if there is anything i should know for the day of surgery or the process from everyone else's experiences. I know what to expect, but at the same time i don't.

I don't know if i made any sense in this, but hopefully some of you can relate to 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?

        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!
