My surgery date is june 26. Im pretty excited I go in tomorrow and get blood drawn for a blood work. The 3day liquid diet before the surgery is gonna b tough but after the operation it will be worth it to know im gonna loose alot of weight. Good luck in your new beginnings!!!

I am a smoker and was tested 2 x prior to surgery. They used a breathing machine. They should be telling you when you have to be smike free and when they will test you. Breathing machine -5 days to get out of system, don't know about blood. Look it up online. I smoked after passing my tests up to the day before surgery and wish i had not.

My surgeon will not so surgery unless you are 100% smoke free foe 90 days. He test u when u go in the hospital and if you have nicotine in your system he will send you home the day of surgery. I have been smoke free for 27 days now. I have been an on and off smoker for years. I quite cold turkey. Having mouth fixation problems this time around but it is worth it. I am not passing this up for a smoke.

      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.

        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!
