Oh my goodness! So many emotions. I am on a rollercoaster of different emotions! One minute I'm so excited and determined and the next I'm questioning myself and scared to death! I'm wondering if I've done enough research and if I know for the most part what I'm getting myself into. Does this sound familiar to anyone or am I alone on this ride?

I think it's normal to be anxious about this life changing decision. But keep in mind. IT IS LIFE CHANGING! I fretted over all the what ifs I could think of before surgery day too this is the most important thing I've every decided to do for myself. It's the best decision I've ever made. You will find yourself saying that also. You'll see!

      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.

        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!
