My surgeons nurse called a little while ago to tell me what time to be at the hospital in the morning...6:30 a.m.!!! I was so excited when I told my husband and was talking so fast that he didn't understand me and asked "are you sure she didn't say 10:30"...soooo I had to call back just to make sure. It is officially 6:30 a.m. in the morning! YAY...I keep thinking to myself that I should really be nervous or SOMETHING but I'm not yet. I bet I will be in the morning though! :D :D :D

Home & in my own bed. In my own clothes!

I already feel even better just being here. Plus I can sleep the way I want. Hope everyone else has a good recovery. I have to give tons of gratitude to my Surgeon & Surgical team.

Glad to hear everything is going so good for ya!

I was just given my surgery date...September 19th. I have a week long liquid diet which starts Thursday. Having it done by Dr. Hohen in Lenexa, KS.

I've be considering this for quite a while and talked to a couple of different doctors. It took a month to get an appointment with Dr. Hohen, so I expected it to take another month or so to get surgery scheduled...Nope! He had an opening 10 days later.

You will do great, Lenexa is a nice place. I was born in KCMO. My family lives all around there. But for me Texas is home.

Ask your job about FMLA (family medical leave act) that might work and if you dont tell your job the specific reason for surgery your doctor can give you medical needy papers for work

I'm not sure if I chickened out or something but I cancelled my surgery for tomorrow morning I am so upset with myself. I shouldn't have told my supervisor as a friend what I was having done I believe she sabotage my process so it will take maybe 30 days for approval then I'm good but my approval from the insurance company ends at the end of the month. Discouraged!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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.
