My surgery is in 2 weeks, I'm scared too, but I think that's normal. I'm sure everything will be fine...with both of us! My mother in law had gastric bypass and says I will feel so much better when the weight is off, so when I start panicking, I just think about what she said. Good luck and keep us updated!

Honestly, there isn't much to be nervous about. I had surgery yesterday at 2:15 pm. It's 11:25 am now and I feel great! My leak test was flawless and I've been walking around all morning. The staff here is very friendly and attentive. I got to take a shower about an hour ago and it was incredible. I still haven't gotten to drink anything, but I will soon. I understand your nervousness, but once you meet the staff here, you will be so at ease.

I am a little nervous too, but I try to focus on the positives. I'm going on the 29th. I just try to keep busy, I find when I'm idle the negative thoughts come!

      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!
