Manometry. Darn auto correct.

I'm getting ready for a long ride! Lol Manometry sounds painful. I can't stand stuff up my nose. A flu swab test is the worst! Lol

I was terrified, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds. It's no big deal. My blood pressure was in the near fatal range before hand:).

I can report my experience since I have one scheduled for Wednesday. Not reality looking forward to this one but will be nice before surgery to know of any problems that may exist for me.

That is very true! These are small things compared to how this procedure will change our lives! I would like a report though if you don't mind! :)

I agree, each as individuals. My EKG was because of a history of anxiety related PVCs. I have a month long Holter monitor report that shows me as fine but he was concerned the anesteologist would have an issue with my Hx. I did just find out the hospital where I'm going has mandatory pre op testing when you go in for early admission (a week pre op) they do Labs, an EKG and a Chest X-ray. I know a girl who received a call the night before surgery that due to a concern with her labs they were postponing her surgery. I would freak out.... She did.

      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!
