getting a little nervous



Recommended Posts

I got preregistered with the hospital today. Tomorrow is all the preop stuff at the doctors office. Should get a phone call tomorrow about what time to report to the hospital on Monday. Still wondering if I'm crazy or just down to my last option and don't care anymore?

Try to stay calm. You aren't going into this lightly. You have been prepping for this for a while, and now you are finally here. It is normal to get the jitters prior to anything major like this. You will do great, and you are making the best choice for your health, and for your future! Good luck! You will do great! ;)

Glad i'm not alone here. I am back and forth on this and second guessing myself constantly. Sometimes I actually sweat a little over it when the enormity hits me. But I want to put one thing in your head now that has worked for me. Whenever I'm in panic mode over what I'm about to do, i imagine that this surgery isn't even available - and that really panics me. Imagine you don't even have this option. For the foreseeable future - all you have is either get bigger or join weight watchers, or Jenny Craig - that is even scarier than the surgery !! - good luck

      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!
