Congrats!!! That was my date but I got a call and its switched to the 25th.

What have you done to prepare?

Today I went and bought the Shampoo thats suppose to help with loosing my hair. That was the last thing I needed on my list to get.

I feel the exact same way.. I am excited but sometimes my nerves get the best of me. Just scaring myself about going to surgery & waking up in pain!

I'm not nervous about the surgery I've had 4 csections and went threw tbe recovery of tje last two alone. The nurse told me I'll be fine! But i am a single mother of 4 with no help. My friends all live too far to help and my family isn't much help either. Kinda feel like I'm going threw this alone and im more worried about what I'm gonna cook for my kids after surgery....

The Shampoo I got was from Sally Beauty Supply and its called Nutri-Ox. If you can't get that one I know some people have bought the Garnier with Biotin in it and its cheaper but they say its not as strong. Not sure if money was a factor in your choice but just a heads up.

I just go the shampoo and was gonna get the conditioner but they were out of the one for color hair. I tried it last night even though I haven't had surgery yet(next Tuesday) I started now to get a head start and maybe I won't loose so much hair

Thanks! I'm going to look for it. The nurse told me its the not taking the Vitamins that makes people loose hair. So I'm gonna be ontop of that since my hair is allready thin :-(

That's what they told me too ...that losing hair is due to not taking the Vitamins & getting enough Protein in. However, if the Shampoo works I'm all for it!

      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!
