April Dates



Recommended Posts

I had to wash with a special soap the night before and morning of and then when I was being "prepped" for surgery they gave me antibacterial wipes (they had warmed them up) and I had to "wash" all over with them.

Hi. Please remove me from the April list. They've decided to just remove the band on Saturday, have a good look and reschedule surgery for three months down the track which can hopefully be keyhole and not open as planned.

Quite disappointed I won't be leaving the hospital with the bypass done but I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry.

Good luck everyone xox

Juliz doing good, broth is great I make my own. The surgery said it took 3 attempts to get the pouch. My stomach was nearly gone. So that's why 5.5 hours.

      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!
