Great idea!!!

Other items ppl have suggested and our Nutrionist during my pre-op 3 hours class today

--Chap stick or Vaseline for lips since we canny drink anything and mouth and lips will be dry.

--Comfy walking shoes as we will be required to walk 30 laps through day around the nurses station

-- Comfy stretch pants, or like pj pants or sweats pants

--comfy walking shoes for all the waking required.

Oh yes, gas x strips too, I have those already for when I return home. My nut., told us we cannot bring any meds into hospital but good to have ready at home.

The hospital will supply all meds including any to help for gas : )

      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!
