I had my pre-op appointment today. Had to sign papers, they checked my current medications and gave me a prescription for what I need on Thursday It included a patch to put on tomorrow night to help with nausea. . Took my blood pressure and drew some blood. The surgeon came and talked to me and showed me on my stomach where the incisions would be. I guess one more day of low carb stop eating at 6:00 tomorrow and nothing to drink after midnight. I had lost 10 lbs on the 2 week pre-op which is great. So just getting excited nervous have to put my bag together tomorrow. I have to spend the night because of sleep apnea. I stopped at costco and I now have Protein and Vitamins. So I think Im Ready!!!

Good luck to all having your surg tomorrow. So exciting! Tomorrow I have my preop class to meet with all the people that will be involved in my care while admitted. I get to ask all my unanswered questiones and get all the info for the big day. Today was my second day on my preop diet and wow Have I been grouchy... lol my poor family! I think I am detoxing off the sugar and carbs and I've also had a bad headache all day. If anyone has some good questions that maybe you wish you asked but didn't I would love to hear them so I can ask and be more aware of everything. Thank you in advance

June 24th.....I'm just so excited. My two week pre op starts on the tenth I'm already not hungry though after I tried what shake I'm going to try. Its Atkins French vanilla and delicious. Even brought body fortress whey Protein Powder, unsweetened blue diamond almond milk, Tyson grilled chicken for my salad dinners, lol. Calcium and gummy vitamins, I think I'm about ready for now.

      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!
