Heading to the hospital in five hours...can't sleep!



Recommended Posts

So I'm sitting in my hotel room, my husband asleep, and I can not sleep for anything. I have to be at the hospital at 6am and am so nervous. I am keeping in mind why I am doing this, but I'm still nervous. I have rationalized that it doesn't matter if I don't get any sleep because I will be put out tomorrow anyway when they do the surgery. It is outpatient and I should be having the surgery at 7am and released at 1pm. I'm not looking forward to the pain. I hope it's an easy surgery and recovery...if only I could sleep.....

Oh, wow. I've never heard of this surgery being done in out-patient, without a two night hospital stay. Cool. Good luck tomorrow. It's well worth it.

      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.
