I Just Can't Wait To.....



Recommended Posts

I am pre-op and will finally be sleeved Dec 17. It seems like it'll take forever for the day to arrive. Im sitting at the airport and thinking about all the things I can't wait to do. And being able to comfortably sit in a seat during a flight is one of the things I can't wait to do. Feeling like everyone is looking in my direction hoping I won't sit next to them as I walk down the plane is one of the worst feelings. What are some things you pre-opers or newly sleeved folks can't wait to do?

I can't wait to cross my legs without having to grab my ankle and try to glue it to my knee. Also can't wait to go shopping and find something where either 1) they have plenty in my size or 2) alll the sizes are too big for me. :lol:

I can't wait to wear smaller dresses and a nice pair of high heels. I also can't wait to be able to skydive! I just want to feel lighter and have the energy to be more active in general. My surgery is in less than one month and I am very excited. But I can't help feeling a little nervous also. :)

In addition to smaller sizes, actually finding clothes that FIT, looking better, etc, this morning I actually thought of something so simple it made my husband laugh... I seriously can not wait to use a regular size TOWEL.... of all things... Right now I either make do with the regular one or I use a beach towel!

I buy BEACH towels to use around the house because they are large enough for me. I hadn't even thought of the JOY of using just a regular sized bath towel.. My goodness...lol...

      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!
