Wow I Wasn't Expecting This.



Recommended Posts

I met with my surgeon this morning and found out I get to have surgery on Aug. 15 and I have to start my skim milk diet on Aug. 1 I really didn't think it would happen this soon. I have had to do the whole 6 month doctor suppervised diet. It's is just hitting my all at once that I start my new life in a few days. I'm so nervous and scared. I know I'm making the right decision I just hope I don't fail in the long run. I was suppose to leave for a trip to Vegas on Aug. 15 but it looks like I'll have to cancel the flight hope they give me some kind of credit. I didn't want anything in my life to be more important then this. I can go back to Vegas later. Wish me luck. Thanks for all the info this website has given me. I feel really ready for everything.

Well talk about baptism by fire. Well congrats on your upcoming procedure. I had to wait like 2-3 months for my date to come, so trust me when I say at least you dont have 2-3 months of anticipation, second doubts, and driving yourself crazy. Good luck.

I was given one week notice and went into panic that it was so close, because I had been thinking it would be about four months. Looking back, I am glad I didn't have much time.

      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!
