I am!! My surgery is scheduled for 10 am on 4/3. I go to my last pre-op appointment tomorrow, and I guess I'll start my pre-op diet on Thursday. I have lived in SC for the past 2 1/2 years, but am originally from Ohio. Best of luck to you!! Stay in touch so that we can compare notes! It's nice to finally know of someone with the same surgery date!

Glad to meet you :). I go tomorrow for my pre-op testing for the surgery. I am lucky, I only have to do my clear liquid diet on the day before surgery. I can't believe it is all happening in about 2 weeks!!! Yes, definitely stay in touch!!

Hi All... I'm on 4/3 also in Boston.. Did my pre-op testing last Thursday. My surgery is at 11 AM.

I'm getting so excited, and nervous!! I'm spending my weekend cleaning my house. I live alone, but will have many people in And out if needed. Are you all scheduled to stay in the hospital for 2 nights ? They say I should be out early Saturday afternoon..

I'm going to try and pop on while I'm in there. I'll look for all of you and say HI to our new lives ;)

Hi and welcome to the 4/3 club lol! I am staying in the hospital for 1 night. I am in NJ. I am getting very nervous! I know this is the best decision and I have been working a long time to get here, but I get these panic thoughts of "what the heck are you doing". April 3rd, just get here already!!

Hi Lynne! My surgery is at 10 am on Thursday. My surgeon says two nights, but I've heard of people just staying one night. Guess it'll depend on how I feel by then. I'm in SC. Best of luck to you, and please stay in touch!

      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!
