Seen my doctor today for pre admitting. Can't wait for march 24th to come. Kinda down because doctor said I might have to much scar tissue to do sleeve the same time. I'm praying he can because my insurance changes over in April. "Ugh"

Anyone else having really bad dry mouth after being home? I think it might be the nausea med, I have to put under my tongue 4x a day

I had terrible dry mouth in the hospital. Ice chips helped the most. Crush some ice and suck on it. Helps get your Water in too.

if you are on the hydrocodone liquid pain med that's what it is it stopped the day I switched to Tylenol

I found swishing Water in my mouth and gargling a bit helped a lot without actually swallowing.

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting on my surgery. I have been calm all the way until now. I spoke to my 9year old daughter over the phone and she started crying now I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. Ughhhhhh

Thinking of you! Just had a bedtime prayer with my 8 year old. Sweetness is to hear your child pray for you. It's terrifying too. But deep breaths - we got this! I'll be at the hospital in about 13 hours. Hope you're doing ok. Post when you can!

Hi everyone. ... I've been reading posts on this site for a while now. I'm starting to get really excited and anxious. I Am scheduled for March 21 . I'll be flying down to San Diego...is anyone having surgery in Tijuana around that time? I don't have to much support from family and friends but it is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm 27 and ready to start a new life. Just looking for some positivity

      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!
