Pre-Operative Group Class



Recommended Posts

I completed my pre-op class today. I was the only one in my class. It was good and I learned some interesting stuff. I am going to do my labs and EKG on Monday. I will do my medical clearance on December 2. I am starting to get excited.

Welcome! I remember those heady first days. It felt as if the whole thing would take forever! Well, let me just tell you, time flies! I started in June and my surgery was this morning and I am recovering and feeling pretty good :D

Enjoy the process. Do lots of reading and research. Read the good, the bad and the ugly. Don't let the bad and ugly scare you, let them inform and teach you. Don't let the good put rose coloured glasses on you, let it encourage and motivate you. Learn all you can and be well prepared. Then just relax and enjoy the experience. It's once in a lifetime. Have fun with it. You might as well. :D

      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!
