Starting to second guess myself



Recommended Posts

I thought I was the only one who felt this way, too. Surgery scheduled for 10/23 and I am suddenly scared. I was so excited to get this done and get on with feeling better (no more joint pain or HBP) but now I am wondering if I'll be able to handle it. I am very fortunate to have a great support system and I know this is my last chance to change my life, but I completely understand your post. I hope the important people in your life realize how much you would like their support to help you through such a major transition. Keeping my fingers crossed :)

Everyone is different no two people are the same. Having said that my point is just because you decided to go another route does not mean this is the best decision for someone else. Cancelling a surgery based on someone elses decision to get healthy is scary. This means that you were not doing this for you. I dont care what other people do in your household the decision should solely be based on you. If you can loose weight without surgery kuddos to you but for people that have to use surgery as a tool to help them because all other measures have been exausted kuddos to them also. No one should not be judged based on the route they took to become apart of a life changing event. So if you dont have anything supportive to say dont say nothing at all. SOMEPEOPLE GOT NERVES

      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!
