I'm a June 11 too. (Atlanta area) I am also excited' date=' nervous, and scared. This is a huge journey. I know it is the right thing for me and others to do, but anxiety is still there. I know WE can do this. Buddies are great. Wishing you a smooth easy first day of prep shakes.[/quote']

I totally agree. I can't stand the shakes but it's all part of it and I want to make surgery as easier or them as I can. I also know this is something I have to do. I have to overcome the what if's.

My surgery is set for June 3. I'm in upstate New York. I don't have a pre-op diet or endoscopy. Lost 12 lbs so far and am ready to get the surgery done...just getting everything set in my pantry and making my list of things to take to the hospital. I will be home by myself after surgery. My best friend that was to help me has left me high and dry. But I went through gall bladder surgery by myself. I can get through this as well. I love all the support everyone gets on this forum.

I am having surgery with Dr. Simon on the following Monday June 10th! Best of luck to you! Keep in touch. :D

So day 6 on my prepo liquid diet and its not going bad at all I was more concerned going back to work And being on a liquid diet but after last night nothing bother me at all,it went smoothly.. Better than expected,Maybe it's just my motivation Or knowing I have to do this in order to have my surgery and to have a healthier life. Plus a good support system like you all and my family and friends that are behind me hundred percent. Everyone I told about my surgery was and is very supportive. My husband is too but still a little unhappy because he's not going to be here for it... They say duty calls so he's on-duty. But the upside to that is when I do see him it will be a new litter me.

      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!
