Awesome! I've heard the pre-op diet is harder than post-op because of the hunger before surgery. Just remember it will be easier post-surgery.

You are making the right choice. I think we all have this fear that we might leave something behind' date=' but what you need to look at is how much you have to gain ahead. I am from Concord, NC[/quote']

My surgery is this morning at 830am. I've been up crying since 4am bc I'm so afraid to leave my baby. I needed to hear this this morning. Thank you!

You'll be fine. It is important to try to relax and get a good night's sleep before surgery. All will be well.

How are all of you feeling? For me it's almost a month away and the nerves are kickin in big time

I am nervous a bit, but I have not heard from a single person who has had it that they regretted it. Mostly I am way past being sick and tired of being sick and tired. It will be a huge relief to start making headway in this weightloss battle, and start feeling better.

I'm with you, Daisy. I just want to be on the other side of the surgery and getting some real headway on living healthier

We deserve to feel better and join the loser club :-) 7 weeks and 4 days and counting here.

      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.
