OK Aug 5-ers, sending out some good ju-ju, I can't believe this is happening in less than 24hrs

Well I did my pre-shopping this morning. Gas-x check, G2 check, crystal light check and so on........my bag is packed and I do have my chapstick handy. Also charging my ipod and kindle devices.

I have been fairly calm and not too anxious,. This morning I had a flash of me walking into the surg suite and my stomach dropped a few feet. It must be trying to wrap around my spine and hang on for dear life! Poor thing, sorry buddy its almost time to part with most of you.

I just finished cooking lasagna and other dinners to freeze for DH. And turns out I was not tempted by it at all. I think I have come to terms with my future.

Good luck to my fellow aug 5th sleevers. We aren't alone. I will try to keep updated.

Oh yeah I also took a couple before pictures.......lets just say I will wait to post them till I look a hell of alot better!!!!! LOL :P

This exactly how I'm feeling; "come to terms with my future". I haven't packed, not real sure I'm going to do any packing. I have crystal light, chapstick, gas-x, and travel toothpaste/brush in my purse. I'm going to wear home what I wear to the hospital and as long as I have my phone I've got all the entertainment I might want. All I will be carrying extra is a pillow to use as abdominal support as I get up and down. Good luck and remember to walk and sip, walk and sip. Just a short while and we will all be on the other side.

      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.

      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!
