I went today for my final visit before surgery. I am indeed nervous, nervous! Talked a little to my doctor about it today and he said it is perfectly normal, so I am just trying to breathe!

Everything is moving too fast and too slow all at the same time! Had a reality check when I went out with girl friends for my "last hurrah" but it will be worth it!

Elvislover I am July 10 so we will have to check in on each other!

Just don't forget to do your foot exercises as soon as you can start! Most hospitals should have you on a foot pump that moves your foot to stimulate blood flow ad decrease venous pooling. Remember to use your inspiration spirometer and walk when they tell you too!!

Some patients pre op use visualization to help with anxiety. Others do relaxation stuff. Personally when I get nervous I kick back, pop on some enya and try to relax. If that doesn't work ....

I pop battlefield 3 In the ol Xbox and kill people.

Lol hang in there and just remeber that you will be fine. At the risk of sounding like a dork follow the words of the all knowing morphius. "don't think you are, know you are"

      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!
