I've been going through a similar situation, so I know how frustrating and depressing it can be. I'm so happy you're having the surgery though! I'm so happy you've past that road block. Good luck to you for a speedy recovery. Keep us all updated!

thank you so much. I hope yours are resolved so you can get on with your journey too. This has been such a roller coaster. I think I will really believe it about 5 tomorrow afternoon when it is done and I am in my room and somebody is asking me to walk. Hugs

[*]Hi first of all just a bit of background. I am a 57 year old waiting for revision from band to rny. I was approved for surgery. On Nov 7' date=' Minutes before being taken back for surgery Doc comes in and says my Blood sugars are too high and we need to postpone surgery till Dec 5 and to work with my endo to get the sugars under better control (i am very uncontrolled which is my reason for wanting the surgery)

[*']meanwhile I begin having really severe pain in my lower right abdomen and in my right back area. I call my Family Doc like a good girl thinking this must be a kidney stone or something. Family Doc has ultrasound done, no stones, no infection no clue.

[*]Baratric Surgeon orders an abdominal ct scan, it shows something on the right ovary

[*]Baratric Surgeon orders a pelvic ultrasound and wants me to see my Gynecologist (haven't been to one in more than 20 years, just use my PCP for that)

[*]Baratric Nurse called and read the ultrasound report and it shows a mass and a cyst and some calcification on the ovary.

[*]The first appt I could get (started calling Monday) to see a Gyno was this coming Tues at 11:00

[*]Bypass surgery is supposed to be Wed.

[*]So I have been on a pre op diet for the better part of six weeks.

[*]I am very discouraged and just don't know what to think.

[*]I feel like I am so close to having the opportunity to get healthy and my body is fighting me every step of the way.

[*]I just wanted to let everyone know and ask for your prayers and any advice.

[*]Thanks for reading all of this

My prayers are with u

      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!
