Oh, I've already done my admission paper work. They had me do that last week. I just show u to surgery, get changed they said they will start my iv, have me verify my info like six times and the team will all sign my belly. The nurse will be me a blood thinner **** in my belly and Then I get taken back at 710 into or. I'm having mine done at a military hospital. Maybe that's why they work a little different. They had me draw labs again yesterday and I guess I just show up now. The nurse just called me to make sure only Clear Liquids after noon today and to wash my skin four times tonight with fragrance free soap.

Anyone else have to do a bowel cleanse? I have to drink 10 oz of magnesium citrate. Lemon flavored, and this stuff is sour!

      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!
