Okay, so I have had to complete a 6 month trial period (insurance requirements).. I have an EGD in the morning, which is also something required by my insurance company. I have never been put to sleep before, so that is my BIGGEST fear out of this journey for me.

Simply, Being put to sleep is the easiest part of the whole deal, IMO. You take a few deep breaths of anesthetic, sleep, then wake up and it's done. While you're asleep, everyone else is working to take care of you. :) Enjoy the nap! :)

It is the easiest part. My anesthesiologist put the mask on and said here is some oxygen take a few deep breaths. My last words were "you liar, I know Sevoflourane when I smell it". I don't remember anything past his chuckle until I was coming around post op.

Lol, they usually wait to turn on the gas after the propofol hits. I guess your anesthesiologist was in a bit of a hurry.

      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!
