I'm still trying to get the hang of this site. I like the personal conversation.

Well, I'll be starting my shakes on Wednesday. I don't think it will be too bad. I've be using shakes to loose weight these last few months.

I hope all my questions are answered at the class I have to go to onTuesday.

I am nervous about the life change after surgery.

Ok. Here goes.

Can you have nail polish on?

I would like a list of exactly what I can eat. (I have no imagination when it comes to food)

I take a lot of meds, like around 14. I am concerned about putting all those pills in my new stomach. Can I eat Apple sauce with the pills crushed up in it immediately. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the soft food stage or something

Does the doc give you a number for after hours.?

Will I have a drain.?

Do you need any money in the hospital? (Like for tv or phone)

Do you need help at home (I live alone)

Thanks,

Casey 999

Ok I was told no to the nail polish or toe nail polish ..

We were told to go talk to the pharmacy and tell them what surgery we are having. My doc said pills need to be converted to liquid form or crushable . ( but check with your doc)

As for the hospital .. TV should be included in what we are paying

You might need help at home.. I am planning on help for a week..

I have to be on liquids for 3 weeks before I move to the next phase

I hope this helps!

      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!
