By this time next week, I will be in Mexico for my same day surgery. I am super excited and a bit nervous. I've gotten so much info from the forum in the past week, and so much support, I can honestly say I'm kind of ready! Waiting on my Protein Shakes and cute compression socks from UPS... they always deliver late in the day. Grrrrrr.

I travel super light, all I expect to bring will fit in a backpack. And hopefully not bring too many souvenirs back home. Lol

I was wondering about the packing part! How long are you staying in Mx? I'm going in July and want to take what I need, but not too much as we can only lift so much afterwards and going on and off a plane, i don't want too bring to much!... Congrats on the countdown till your big day! I know you will do great and can't wait to hear how it all went!! Whih MD are you going with? I'm having mine with Dr Garcia at florence Health! Take care! :)

I am packing super light! I don't wear makeup. hair will be in a ponytail. Extra undies and socks. Two books and my phone. Hand lotion, breath mints , Chapstick and a blanket. I'm only staying three days because of same day surgery. That extra day waiting seemed too much for me. I'm with Dr. Garcia at florence as well. I can't wait to give a detailed review! That means ill be done lol

Wow only two more days. I'm wondering if I'm wearing my self out. I've been working midnight shift and running errands with my mom preparing for leaving my kids. Sunday ill be working 4-12. I'll get home and nap for a couple hours. Then a two hour ride to the airport. My flight is at 645 and I'll arrive at 855. And then right off to the hospital for check in and surgery. I think the fact that I'm sooo busy helps me. Only thing bugging me, is a crazy backache because I can't take my Tramadol.

      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!
