I am scheduled for April 8. I am very nervous. I am a nurse so I feel like I know too much. I have always been the one providing the care now I will have to be on the other side of the bed. I am very nervous. My poor husband he is trying but I have been so cranky with him, I can't help it. I know that I'm being irrational most of the time because I'm scared. Also to add to the stress my brother in law has moved in with us. And my mother is having heart problems. My normal coping mechanism is to eat everything in sight but I'm on the blasted pre op diet. Any advise?

wow, you know they say when it rains...it pours! But this is your time to get healthy. Just focus on other things than eating...go for a walk it helps relive stress and will make you feel better.

Will say a prayer for peace for you and hope your situation improves with the family!

      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.

      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!
