You'll have to come visit us on your pre-op visit on the sixth hopefully we are having surgery early that morning.

Hi. I will be flying in on the 6th. Meeting my coordinator, Omar at the airport. I will stay at the hospital and start pre-op tests the morning of the 7th. Surgery that same day. I am using Dr. Illan. I will be going to Hotel Lucerna. What is ya'lls pre-op diet like? I have to be on a liquid diet for a week.

I haven't got that information yet. But I will let you know when I do. I know people who have used the same Dr and they had a liquid diet 10 days prior and the last 3 days it was Clear Liquids only.

      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!
