Which Wait Feels Longer....the 6 Months Or Weeks Up To Surgery



Recommended Posts

Well, those 6 months flew by pretty quickly - now I have surgery date of Sept. 10th....and it seems like it's a year away...... have I ever mentioned I don't have patience.....ha. Well - I hope these next 4 weeks go by quickly....will see what my pre-op diet requires this Thursday.....not really looking forward to that - but it's only for a week or so.....I hope.

Now if I can actually get some work done here at the office instead of lurking on this damn site.....it's such an addiction.

I'm honestly looking forward to a little bit of downtime before surgery. The first part of the 6 months seemed to just crawl along. But now that I'm getting into all the requirements and having to make all these appointments, time is flying by.

I am by no means a patient person either. Once I make my mind up on something, lets get it done! I hope everything goes well for you.

      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!
