I'm Nicole and I am just finishing up my last steps before insurance approval! I've been working on this a long time and just found this app for support. My surgeon is shooting for a May surgery date anyone else in May??

Hello Nicole!!! My surgery date is May 8th. Im excited but scared now that I finally have a date. I have no pre OP diet as of yet. I see my doctor on the 2ND. I'll only have six days after that. Not sure what six days of dieting will do before surgery.

I meet with my nut tomorrow and they said that I would be on 2 weeks liquids and that I will need to purchase my Meal Replacements tomorrow in case my insurance is really quick approving me, which is not likely but I'm still hopeful. I look for my surgery to be the middle or end of May. Not looking forward to those liquids though, but I know it will be worth it in the long run!

Good luck to you both. My day has finally arrived, surgery today at 11.30am. The time goes quick. I'm a little nervous, but ready.

Hi Nicole

Welcome to the site. I completed everything today and am waiting for insurance approval. I was hoping for June but now it could be July.

      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!
