Hi everyone! I am new to the site and was having some issues getting around but I think I figured this out.:) I live in Maricopa and I'm scheduled for surgery on 10/9 with Dr. Blackstone in Scottsdale

Thanks so much! As surgery grows closer I find myself getting a bit anxious and wanting to snack the anxiety away. This is one of my challenges pre and post op. I've been sort of talking myself out of it and made it through today.

Any suggestions???

Thanks a bunch coyotegirl! I am starting to get a little nervous so I'm trying to stay busy. I've been straightening up the house like a maniac and periodically checking in here. I got a massage today which felt great so the first part of my day was a breeze now if I could make it through the night without anxiety I'll be ok.

Thanks for the good wishes

:clap2: Officially a Bandster!

Hey all just got home from the hospital and I feel good, way too sleepy due to meds but very minimal pain. It feels very surreal to me right now but I'm sure as the time passes it will sink in.

I want to thank all of you for the kind words and support I feel that all that good energy came in there with me today and all went REALLY SMOOTH.

HUGS AND KISSES TO ALL!!!!

:hug:

      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!
