I cleaned everything in my house, washed my sheets so I would have a nice clean bed to come home to. Packed my bag early. Definitely work with your incentive spirometer if they gave you one. Make a list of reasons you did this to bring with you for when you're having a hard time. Hydrate your skin wig lotion a few days prior (though not the immediate day before or day of according to my doctors plans) - my skin feels super dry now I wish I had thought of that one. And most of all, relax! You're in the home stretch now, get some good sleep and you will do fantastic

that is great!! Just make sure you have your liquids for when you get home too! You probably won't feel up to going to the store to shop for a few days and need to make sure you have your allowed post up products in the house! Wish you the best, let us know how you are doing!!

Same to you smfw! I did some shopping today! And got all of my prescriptions filled. Including the 2 week injections that I'm not excited about.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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?
