The surgery is a Go and Very Excited....but have a couple of questions.



Recommended Posts

I got the call a couple of days ago saying that I have a date for my surgery which is March 4th, but that the doctors could change it because it is based on when the doctor can do it. I started my journey in November 2012, and when I was weighed the doctor said that I need to maintain my weight which was 256. Now that the holidays passed I gained 4 pounds and now at 260. I am stressing thinking when I go for my doctor check up before my surgery they are going to post pone it cause I gained a little. Has his happen and they had to push it back, or are they going to be easy on me? Because right now I am working out like crazy and dieting so I can drop the extra lbs before I have to go in which might be in two weeks.

My dr said 100% he would postpone my surgery if I weren't back to my initial consult weight. I wasn't planning on making him prove it! I did three days pre op of liquids only. I lost the 6# I had gained.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
