I still don't have a date yet :( , but I did just finish my pre op testing, so I know it will be soon.

I have been getting ready by recording a lot of movies on tivo. I had my nails done and my hair trimmed. I figured I'd better do that now.

@ shelley...how long after pre op testing before you got your date. I went to the support group and pre op training class. Enjoyed both :)

Yeah I am nervous and excited. Got a little peed at the hospital yesterday. I decided till use my local hospital to do all my pre op testing. They took me to radiology first. So I asked them if them barium was gonna mess with me having my labs done and she tells me no because it is not absorbed and that it would go straight through me. So I go through with the test. Then I go to do my labs and they tell me I cant do them because of the barium I consumed. Boy was I mad. I had to go back this morning to do my labs.

Dina! You'll get a date on Mon! Did you do psych eval? Omg whoever didn't do your labs was wrong! I haven't done the support group yet. Maybe we can go together to the next one! I have my Pre op appt with dr on tues, then surgery on thurs. I almost cracked up on first few days of Pre op diet, but it's not so bad anymore. I'm ready to do this!

I've cheated twice Pre-op diet... But no more (I hope!). I'm right where he wanted me to be on the day of surgery as far as weight. I am scared and continually think about the "what if's", but that's normal.... I guess :/

      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!
