I'm sore as Hell' date=' but it's done. Being model patient, in spite of the pain I feel better than anticipated. Still NPO for now, but even the tiny bit Water I swallowed from the swab was felt in my pouch. Odd feeling.[/quote']

So glad all is ok!

It's 3:00 am and I'm laying in bed starving. This sucks!!! Yesterday morning when the alarm clock went off I was dreaming that I died during surgery. Woke up with tears running down my face. Tonight while I was laying in bed with my son before tucking him in I realized he was snuggled up against me crying. After much discussion I realized he's afraid this surgery will change me 'and I love you just like you are now'. He's okay' date=' just scared (I got divorced when he was tiny so it's been just the 2 of us forever...we are really close and he is a bit on the sensitive side). HE wants mommy to be healthy too so he's on board, just worried. This sucks. So ready to get the show on the road.

I think I can,I think I can, I think I can......

You're doing so good on the preop. I'm so proud of you! I've been having dreams about it too. Your poor boy, it's so hard for them to understand completely. How old is he? I have 2 boys, 5 & 6. They know I'm having surgery to help me get healthy and help my back & knees. I didn't give them the ugly details.

Come on Monday! I can't wait!

He's 8. He was in kindergarten when I had my band put in, I had told him I was going to have surgery to make me healthy and didn't tell him the surgery date, he just found out when my dad picked him up from school. It went pretty smoothly. He was calm and cool this summer when I had the band removed. That was an urgent surgery so I only ha 5 days notice it was coming out. My rny has been scheduled for 6 months. This time he's had too much time to think about it I think. So glad we are almost there!!

Ohhh! I understand my 9 yr old is the same and I have been in and out of the Hosp over 30 times this year. He is always worried and asking if I am ok every 30 min.

All we can do is comfort them, have a plan in place for the Fam to handle stuff and have affairs in order. Think positive.

Did surgeon preop- and hospital labs!!. Can't believe my preop diet starts Sunday (and I'm excited about it), and that in 12 days ill be sitting on the losers bench!

We will do this! We are all here together and I'm glad I found this place. I've noticed my girls, ages 9,7,6- are starting to get apprehensive, they know something is up but I haven't told them yet. Going to wait till Monday I think!

      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!
