Im having my surgery on 4/23. So I assumed everything was done and dandy.

I get a call the OR booked the wrong person for the surgery..took allday to get that sorted out. I then get another call saying I had to see the hospital dietitian before surgery. Of course there were no appointments available till mid may so I had to bed myself in and got an appointment at 9:30am the day before surgery.

Then comes another call saying I wasn't tested for h.pylori with my endoscopy so I had to rush and get a breath test for it.

I get everything together and im finally getting a sense that im done and then my brother comes home with a horrible cold which im bound to get. I haven't eaten food in 4 days (liquid pre op diet ) and Im at my wits end..

did anyone else have this hard of a time less then a week before surgery?

      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!
