Surgery in a few hours



Recommended Posts

So, my surgery is in four hours. 5:30 am 14 May. I really should be resting, but I can't. First, I got up 2:00am 13 May for the nine hour to the hospital. I slept for three hours, and been up since then. I been trying relax, but I can't do it.

I'm a little anxious, because of excessive scare tissue, it might not be done. However, I'm sure what to expect if it is. Like, why I'm I really doing this? I fought for over a year w/insurance and being in compliance, now it's here and I'm questioning myself. Has anyone else had these random thoughts prior to surgery?

Guess I'll try to rest for four hours, please post any comments.

Thank you,

VAMP

Hey, we have all been there. your going to be fine! Just breath and remember why you decided to do this for yourself. It won't be a hop skip and a jump. But it sure is a life changer. One for the best mostly.

Your on your way. Soon to be a loser like the rest of us....:)

Be proud of what you are doing for you and your future! :)

I'm going in at 9:30am and I am facing the same issue but im trying to remember why I'm doing this ... I've tried many diets and is always gave up... I need this life changer to guide me in the right direction. So good luck to you and I'm right behind you

      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.

      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!
