June 3rd Surgery Date!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I had my pre-op visit today and was told that I have a hiatal hernia that needs to be repaired. My doctor will fix that at the same time that he performs the gastric sleeve surgery. I am nervous but I am glad that this issue is being fixed and hopefully, it will alleviate my GERD.

My surgery is also June 3rd! I'm on the pre op diet and I'm having the hardest time. I was prepared for post op diet but pre op is hard! How are you doing it and what are you doing??

Our pre-op diet is only 1 day!! We have to do Clear Liquids the day before and nothing after midnight. That's all. How long are you on the diet??? 2 weeks?

Hello everyone, I am scheduled to have my lap band removed and VSG on June 3rd. I had my pre-op yesterday. I did not need an EKG... I think they will do it on the day I go in. I wasn't given a pre-op diet to follow, I just have instructions to have liquids only, the day before. Lap band SW:233, lost 30lbs Current wt-246 Goal weight-150

How long ago was your lap band? Is VSG a sleeve? I have my sleeve on June 3rd and just required to do liquids 24 hours beforehand too.

As I said before, my surgery is June 3. Wow! It's close and I'm nervous. I am 5'4" and currently 237 pounds. My goal weight is 130. I'm looking for a pen pal of sorts. Maybe someone to exchange emails with to help keep me sane through this process! Anyone interested?!?

I have had my lap band placed April 2008. I lost 30lbs and gained it all back since. I could only hold 1.7cc in a 10cc band and even that was too tight. So it my surgeon is going to remove it and do the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I'm so excited and nervous. I know is time I will be successful... Are you ready?

      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!
